Oh My God!
That video (as hard as it is to follow) shows exactly how NOT to remove the 1/2 shaft from a Toyota truck! You do need to remove the "gold bolt" (though usually before removing the flange nuts), but you don't remove the large axle nut. And you certainly don't remove the lower ball joints as he was planning to do at the end of the video.
It looks like the author didn't realize that you can't remove the 1/2 shafts with the wheels dangling from the lift like that; the angle of the shaft is wrong, and it won't come out. Instead, you have to lift the rotor as though the truck were sitting on suspension. Remove the cir-clip, the 6 bolts holding the tulip to the diff. flange, and out she comes.
But, to be fair, I have no idea (from this video) what his end goal was.

I agree 100% on the video, posted it to show the 12MM bolt that holds the axle shaft. Here is a better explanation.

Those Milemarkers (or Warn?) might look deeper, but I don't think they are. They just lack that ridge where the stock hubs have the extra snap ring.
EDIT: been a while since I've seen a drafting scale
