Don't do that ... lest you end up with a fast spinning cutoff disc in your index finger ... not that I'd know anything about that kind of situation!
If the nut turns and you have a bit of slack now on the nut bolt, this would allow you to jimmy the propshaft yoke off the drum brake with a large levering tool(jimmy bar/screwdriver/etc) just to get some force on the nut as you unwind it.
If there is a chewed up section of thread on the bolt, and the nut can't unwind past it, the force from behind may help it along a bit more.
I'm pretty sure there is a collar or ring or something that holds the bolt heads close to the face of the flange .. so flange will need to be removed to fit new bolts.
