If you lift one wheel and turn it that will turn the diff flange so you can line up the prop shaft.

If you're asking a question like that, you need to step away from the propshaft!
I appreciate I may be being a bit dim but having just removed and rebuilt the engine, I'm sure I'll cope with a little help.
Ok lift one wheel and put a bar on a wheel nut you will need some force to turn prop. The bolts are 9/16 UNF. You should be able to remove it without turning prop with a couple of good 9/16 combination spanners on the nuts you can't get a socket on.

If the wheel won't turn, the VCU is seized
aaaahhhhhhhhh ok
Sorry to pick up a 6 year old thread! But it made me laugh. Last time I replaced a front prop on a Disco I got my wife to drive the car while I was underneath to check when the bolts were more accesible. I said to her 'move very slowly and I'll shout stop'. She gunned the engine and shot forward - scariest moment of my life! She couldn't hear me shouting 'stop, stop for fox sake stop!!!', above the engine noise. It worked though. Didn't have the heart to tell her that I'd cancelled my life insurance!:violent:
