I need to do this job also (and have not done it before)
my input seal will lose a couple drops every long drive. Like pbonsalb mentioned you can avoid using the torque angle meter by marking the position of the nut to replace it back as it was. Also many seals can be placed back in with a comprehensive bearing/seal kit such as this one for $23 :

Pullers are available in many sizes and flavors for a lot less, find one that fits this application or you can even rent one cheaply. Also, the driveshaft tool extension for $260 !...why couldnt we just use this:

Another point i've read plenty of times is to not push in the new seal too far, just a little below the flange or at least notice how far in it is now so you don't risk more leaking after the job is done.
Please post pics of your progress! I think with careful planning, and not rushing things this job can be done properly and economically.
