I agree a ring spanner is more likely to work than a socketon the  propshaft 
bolts. I think I used a 1/4 WW but its cold dark and wet  outside at the 
moment and I dont fancy crawling about under the Landrover to  check. However, if 
the bolts have been replaced at some time they might be 5/8  AF so you may have 
to establish the spanner size first.  Having done that I  also found that an 
open ender was also usefull but that the secret of undoing  them is a bit at a 
time and also turning the prop shaft and angling it to give  maximum exposre 
to the nut.
If you can remove the propshaft and still want to strip the brake (why not  
now you are down there) you could try using a hub puller. I used to slack and  
whak but discovered that a hub puller will fit neatly over the edge of the 
drum  and enable the drum to be moved out consistently around its circumference 
which  is the problem with the whaking technique as it shifts the drum out of 
alignment  and makes it jam against the brakeshoe even if it is slackened off.
