SYE Install Help

Before Moab I figure I should finally get my SYE in.

I started the job once, but I lack the tools to get it done. Anyone willing to help? I have a 5spd so I can't just throw the front shaft in the rear, I need to get a custom one made so I'd like to do the job at my house or as nearby as possible so I don't have to drive on the front for very long.

Thanks

why buy shit i'm going to use once?
 
And don't buy the cheap muti-tip snap ring pliers, buy the largest ones with horizontal flat tips you can find (snap-on makes some good ones), you will need them for disassembling the old output shaft. I had started the job with the cheap multi tips (waste of money) and that delayed the job by ~3 days while I waited for the correct tool to show via UPS.
 
I attempted the SYE job once before, and I couldn't break the large nut on the front yoke with the breaker bar I have.
