Not to start anything or get off topic,

,could you explain how you removed the snapring that holds the innerjoint in w/o dropping the diff (4bolts that hold brackets to frame)
and then taking the 4 bolts per side which hold the brakets to the diff housing.,loose so the c/v inner cup,bearing,seal,an diff mounting bracket could be pulled from the housing to allow access to the snapring that holds the inner c/v joint in place...........

I'm just curious because that would save time........
I'mk just confused because the snap ring is inside of the differential housing.

Thanks,and like I said not trying to start anything,just curious.
