I might be missing something here, but shouldn't the wheels turn without the handbrake on? What would stop them? When you turned one wheel, did an opposing wheel rotate in the opposite direction? The parking pawl/ratchet is in the trans, and so one wheel spinning forward by hand with the driveline fixed will just spin the opposing wheel in reverse. Or did I misunderstand?
