Tapping the big hammer on the brake shoes is a old proven trick to free up the brake shoes or as recommended applying light torque In reverse then forward can be done first . But as the op found out , the diesel can put out massive torque breaking things ... Like twisting your driveshaft off., or the rear gears Do not apply much throttle! Good lesson learned here's hoping the fix is quick and not expensive !
