Rear wheels locked ???

hello Evom...

Im looking for a little help on what is causing this problem...

I got into a bad car accident with my older brother last april 2014 . he pass-away in the accident and i somehow lived... but on to the problem/car 2003 evo 8 .. 160,*** miles the clutch was slipping so i parked it and it has been sitting for a year... went to move it and it will not move so i had some friends help me push it. The Drivers side back wheel will not turn . so i jacked up the car and both back wheels do not spin they only move about 1/2in . IS the rear diff shot?

Thanks for any help you can provide

All I have to do is drive in the rain and next day I get a loud bang as the rust welded rotors break free from the pads. So, after a year, they are very stuck.

If you've left it parked for a year, and for some reason you didn't decide to drain your rear differential completely dry, you most likely have either issues with your rear brake pad/rotor mating surface, or the parking brake shoe/hat mating surface. Have you pulled the rotor yet and tried to rotate the hub?

Front Diff problem?

Hey guys, I might be on the wrong thread but I have a problem with, I believe, the front diff. I hear a really loud grinding noise when I put my car into gear. And the car doesn't move too. I don't know for sure if it's the diff or singing in the transmission or the clutch. Help would be appreciated.
