Td5 Front Prop Shaft

[disco 300]

Hi all. I'm just about to remove the front prop shaft on my 110 and would appreciate some advice.
After undoing one of the bolts I found that I can't remove it as the head of the bolt hits the transfer case.
My question is, will there be enough wiggle room to get the bolts out once they are all undone and the prop shaft moved forward ?

Roll the vehicle forward and that will reposition the shaft so you can remove the said bolt

Thanks. I'll give that a go. It's just that looking at I didn't see where it could clear the transfer case.

The bolts at the TF case stay in the yoke. You can slide the shaft forward alongs its splines to remove.

I was hoping to drive to work tomorrow with the shaft removed to see if that got rid of the high frequency vibrations it has. So what do others normally do in this situation ? Remove the flange/ yoke off the transfer case do they ?

Giving you want to test it slide some lager nuts or a bunch of washers over the bolt than put the nuts back on, this will stop the head of the bolt hitting the t-case

Is it a right hand thread ?

I would assume RH Thread...bit have never removed one

Thanks. I don't have my manual with me so I'll just leave the bolts in for now like you suggested and take it off later.

oh good grief no dont remove the flange, just lock the centre diff in and drive it with the front prop removed.
The bolts on the transfer case end have a retaining ring.

EDIT EDIT NOTE: On looking at the pic i see someone has removed the retaining ring, if it was you, put it back as it stops the bolts from hitting the case

I just got back from a test drive and saw your post. That's what I did. The retaining ring/ cir clip is there, I just moved it back hoping that I could remove the bolts but couldn't. I just did what weeds suggested and put washers on the bolts and tightened them up.
The high frequency vibrations have all but gone, perhaps completely. I can't be completely sure as it's the only td5 I have ever driven. It feels much better now anyway.
Thanks to everyone for their quick responses and advise.
And if I could humbly offer some recently acquired wisdom in return to anyone interested...... don't commence non urgent work on a vehicle that you need to get to work in the morning that's in the driveway blocking in your misseses vehicle that she needs for work in the morning, late in the afternoon as it's getting dark when tea is just about ready and you don't have your manual with you.[emoji6]
