You don't need that tool. I drove my rear end up on ramps and chocked the front tires. The diff will not move. You only need that tool if you put it on jack stands or a lift.
The bolts for the rear shaft are 3/8 UNF I think 1 1/8" long. Microcat doesn't specify length.
EDIT: Previous wrong part number!

Very nice Ralph, thanks.
I have been scared of doing the seal in the diff because of the flange nut and all the horror stories. I'm not sure your experience has built up my confidence any.
I think i'll use this repair as an excuse to buy a new tool. I found this Universal Pulley and Flange holding tool for $78 and it seems like it will be money well spent for this job.

Do you by chance know the replacement bolt size you used so I can pick up extra hardware before tearing it apart?

Ashcroft suggests drilling and tapping the hole to 12mm.
