i would have drained the diff first before pulling the shafts out = less of a mess
and it doesn't matter where your flange meets up with your shaft, no need to mark it.
if your just swapping thirds quickly you can also leave the brakes connected, and undo the bolts that hold the line to the axle and pull the shafts out far enough to pull the third out.

Good write up. And nice use of jackstands. Its nice to know there are people smart enough to still use them.

It's easy!
Recommend using Toyota fipg RED when you seal it up. Check your breather to see if it's clogged while you're down there. May also want to replace axle seals while they are out.
