Yes slow in a straight line and don’t need to go far. I would suggest as others have to soak down the linkages with PB Blaster for a couple of days before you try. It will be stiff but don’t be afraid to force it a bit. It might take a few cycles to free up and be smooth.

Most of these trucks had owners that never used low range or the center lock so most of them are stiff or frozen. When I bought my disco, the hi-lo and center diff lock was super stiff and hard to engage/disengage. once or twice a day follow this procedure until it loosens up:
1. Remember to put the truck in neutral when going in and out of low range
2. It helps if the truck is rolling very slowly (1-2 mph) when shifting the t-case handle up into N, then into Low. (same when going back into High)
3. When moving in a straight line move the t-case shifter over to the left to engage the center lock. (taking turns are not recommended on pavement to protect your driveline)
4. A couple of seconds later disengage the center lock and wait for the indicator to disappear. (If it stays on, try driving in reverse for 100 feet or so)
It took me a couple of weeks until I could use my t-case easily.
