Incredible progress. This would be a huge hit on YouTube not just because it’s F81 but the progress is so fast.

Overall though it was much easier then the other options.

Just wanted to touch on this paragraph here, curious why you wouldn't just undo the reverse threaded nut that connects to the diff? Is it because you're worried that it will vibrate after or just a pain in the ass to break the nut loose? Cause to me it seems like way less work to just undo the driveshaft compared to dropping and re-installing the whole rear end again.
