Default main prop removal

Hello

Ok im trying to remove all items from my underside to do my resto. Have undone the main centre bearing, have undone the 3 nuts and bolts on the spider at the rear of front transmission, how do i stop the prop and diff from turning so that i can undo the 15mm bolts that hold the prop onto the front of the rear diff? car is on stands with all rear brakes removed so cant use handbrake

Any help welcome a lot

stick a pry bar or big screwdriver through the UJ spider and trap it against either the car or garage floor
