What happens if we prevent gyroscope to precess

If we apply some torque to spinning wheel in a vacuumed space in body frame y axis, wheel try to precess due to gyroscopic effect but it will be prevented by obstacles as seen from picture,

what will be reaction of the wheel?
if the wheel turns in y axis then what will be total torque vector and how?

newtonian-mechanics forces torque gyroscopes
