I may have had to undo the spindle at the upper bolt to get the axle out from the diff end.
It's been quite a while so I don't remember exactly. Taking that bolt out won't hurt your alignment, so if you need to, you may as well do the bracketracer method

Thought so - that's what prompted my question, I bought a SIR B90 on the strength of your vid!
Kept it on my computer, but never see it on the forum when I search. Why not repost it, I think more people should see it

ALSO spotted you removed the ABS sensor - hence my second question :)
Seems it can be left in situ when using SIR B90, those sensors are expensive and easily destroyed when attempting to remove, especially on an older car.

If the sensor doesn't come right out, just leave it there, it won't be damaged by the puller.
I wasn't sure of that at the time, so I pulled it out. If you _can_ get the sensor out, clean up the rust and lightly antisieze it. It it doesn't come out easy, you'll likely destroy it by trying to force a rust frozen sensor out, leave it be!
Even if the sensor was somehow damaged by the puller or bearing, then you can just pound it out without having to worry about breaking it
