Excellent write up!
Just completed this on my 95 Cab.
A couple of inputs that might help:

2) I also am without an impact gun. Shade tree solution was to use my floor jack on the end of a breaker bar. 1/4 turn enough that I could then loosen the axle nut manually.

12) Used the edge of a block of wood and hammer to separate the metal covers without scratching/dinging

14) No luck banging with hammer. Took it to local machine shop and they pressed it off ($8.50).

21) Same machine shop let me borrow their boot clamp tool.

26) Half a day of cursing did not help. Same shock interference regardless of jacking of wheel...UNTIL I took car off jacks and only jacked the suspension point of that wheel alone. Made a big difference in the amount of strut compression allowing me just enough clearance to insert the axle.
