Differential May Be Shot; ??? (archive)

I have been hearing a loud clanking noise from underneath the car, where the frequency increased with increased rpm or wheel speed. As best I can tell the noise was coming out from the differential. I discovered that I can only hand turn the drive shaft about one turn, in either direction, before it hits a stop. Can anyone diagnose this? If the diff. needs rebuilding, is this something a home mechanic can expect to handle, or is this best left for the pros?
