Default Drive shaft

One of my front drive shafts has gone kaput. The outer CV joint has disintegrated leaving the shaft flopping around in the wind. (And you know what it's like when your shaft goes floppy!) I'm going to replace the whole thing but removing the inner joint bolts could now be awkward as I cannot lock the shaft by having the wheel on the ground. (I don't have any air tools). Do any of you have any ingenious methods of lock the shaft in such a situation?

Cheers

Steve
