Default Drive shaft broke- unlock cdl

I have a 1999 Disco II which experiences a broken front drive shaft yesterday. Luckily I was on my street and going slow so there was no other damage. I want to remove it and drive the vehicle to the garage to fix. Can someone tell me or have a picture of where to adjust the CDL so I can drive the vehicle. Thanks!

There is a small post on top of the portion of the transfer case where the front drive shaft connects. If you feel on top of it you'll feel a small stud with a squared off nut connected to it. Just take a 12 mm wrench and turn it towards the passenger side. It will only turn about 1/4 or a turn. I don't know if your diff lock light will come on or not.

I did this when waiting for my new propshaft to come in. I was told to be easy on the gas pulling out from stop signs and etc.

Default Front Propshaft

Got this removed. Had to have two people because the bolts were tight! Switched the cdl and am able to drive the vehicle while I wait for the new drive shaft. Diff, ABS, and TC lights are on but it was expected.

So are you going to rebuild your shaft or buy another on, if so, from who?

I just had a Tom Woods installed on mine a month ago. I'm real happy with it.
