tried to sort my handrake out today, took the propshaft nuts off but couldn't get the propshaft off. it wouldn't slide back enought over the bolts, any ideas? or do i have to take both ends of the propshaft off?
tried lifting the landy up off it's wheels but still no luck

Sounds like your prop has seized up. It is telescopic to allow for the movement of the diff. If you cant move it back over the bolts then you'll have to remove the rear end of the prop and slide the whole thing off, then find out why it's not sliding. Also grease the 2 nipples on it.
