Plus you have to factor in the resistance from the differential itself, all the seals, the axle half shafts, the drive shaft and it's center support bearing, plus the output shaft of the tranny, and what ever it's connected to, and the drag of the braking system.

Sure, that's why I thought it so much easier, if feasible, to take some values that are a "standard range of normality" for a 1979 240D and compare it with that from my car (obviously using the same method of measurement...)

I'm sure some one out there can do that, but I do not know of a set range or torque needed to spin rear wheels by hand. Also, where are you going to measure the torque from? A lug bolt or the center spindle?

I would think a lug bolt... It shouldn't be a difficult thing at all...
