I haven’t seen the video, but basically drain fluid and spray the bajesus out of the driveshaft bolts with some PB Blaster before removing the driveshaft. Before popping it loose tie it up or bungee it to the body above so when it does pop off you can have it out of the way. Might have to pry it off after the bolts are out. I also marked where the driveshaft was to pinion with a paint pen. Used a 12 pt and extension with a wobble adapter and didn’t need to rotate the shaft.
My pinion nut was 1 1/8 I believe and came off with the 1/2 impact. If you don’t have an inch pound TQ wrench, feel the lash/movement on the pinion prior to removing the nut. Then when you replace it you’ll have a good idea what it was supposed to feel like. Also once the pinion nut gets put back on all the way you will be close enough, at least in my case. With the TQ wrench I got 10” lbs before wheel movement.
Definitely going to need that 2 jaw puller. All in all it took maybe an hour with me crawling under the truck in the driveway wishing for a lift. Lol
