what 96 said,
unless you start removing drive shafts it either needs to be flat towed (all 4 wheels on road spinning same speed) or on a roll back, all 4 wheels on the tuck not turning, you cannot have one axle stationary and one turning.
BTW, the 80 is not AWD, it is full time 4 wheel drive, the difference is subtle but important in cases like this, the viscus coupler is used differently from the way it is used in AWD vehicles.
