Front Driveshaft Removal - Tech Data Request

That technique seems pretty simple. I like simple. 😆

Are you anchoring the strap by wrapping it on around the flared portion of the CV?
Front end of the shaft - hook to the yoke cup. Back end of the shaft - loop around the necked portion; you'll be putting tension on the circlip, so it might come off before the joint case comes out of the cup. It went out with zero drama in my case.
FWIW - I tried every which way to bang the joint out from the sides or back of the crossmember. It didn't budge.
 
If there are no broken screws, you can simply keep the differential-side shaft connected and completely disconnect the transfer side. In this situation, start the engine and give it a few taps of the accelerator.

Just swapped another joint for someone today. I'm guessing the white portion is where people are seeing the stock bolts break.
 
For removing these bolts are you better off using an impact driver with long extension to prevent them breaking?
I am most certainly using impact. If nothing else but for speed. If you use hand tools you have to lock and unlock the drive train to get bolts.

I use a pneumatic impact and a 6" extension with the proper T45 torq. Or Allen if you are using the Tera bolts.

When reinstalling the bolts are you tightening fully by hand or partial impact then finished off with torque wrench?

I run them in with impact. They go easy. Torquing is a bit of an issue as I don't like the torque spec. It's a bit high and we broke off a bit today. I prefer feel honestly. I know that's not what you wanted to hear but it's worked well for me so far.
