okay i talked to a mechanic. He said even with the front end up on jackstands, with just the axles all the way in, that the axles should spin when i put it in gear and accelerate.
The passenger side, the side where the boot came off but the half of the axle is still in the tranny, well it spins fine. Spins faster as i give it more gas. However, it is the driver side where the axle does not spin at all. This has me worried. I need to confirm whether the driver side of the tranny is in tact or not.
Everything sounds correct. However until I can get this driver side axle to spin I cannot buy the parts and put the car back together.
