My son who is away for a few days with my Disco approx 120 miles away.

He thinks one of the Hardy Spicer joints is collapsing on the front prop.

Would it be safe if he removed it and travelled on a motorway at 50 mph to get it home.
thanks
 
Should be OK, got to drive it with diff locked though.
If he can get under to take the prop off he can give it a good twist and make sure he's right.
 
Regarding driving on just the rear prop shaft, yes it can be done but as vinlander says you have to engage the centre diff lock.
If you don't have the CDL lever then you have to get underneath and turn the little spigot on top of the T-box, it's towards the front, just above the front prop flange.

Depending on year it may not even have the CDL internals in the box.
