Question Need help replacing LR3 Driveshaft

I'm currently working on replacing my 2008 LR3 driveshaft, but the driveshaft won't turn allowing me to access the last two bolts securing it to the the differential. This is the first time I've done a driveshaft, so not sure where I might be going wrong.

- The front two wheels are blocked
- The parking brake is off and the fuses for suspension are taken out, and the car is in park.
- Rear of the car is lifted so the back wheels are off the ground.

Gotten the rest of the bolts besides the middle support out, just these two are left. So the CV joint is out. What am I missing? Need to put it in neutral temporarily?

If you have it disconnected from the center diff, then putting it in neutral will not help. You should be able to turn the shaft by hand now to access the bolts. If you cant turn the shaft, you will need to turn one wheel while keeping the other rear from moving.
