One piece driveshaft install questions?

[Triple Wile E]

I ordered a DSS CF driveshaft from beef and I'm waiting for it to come in I was wanting to clear up a few things before I start my install. I'm looking for the torque specs for the transmission side of the driveshaft my Ford dealer told me 41lbs but wasn't sure. DSS said the pinion side is 57lbs incase anyone is wondering. I'm also looking for a tool list for the install.

For the rear ,10mm 12 point ratchet wrench ...A tap to remove all the old lock tight ... For the front 15 MM socket , 18mm wrench and 18mm socket ..Carrier bearing is either a 15 or 13 MM socket ... I forget witch it is .. Remove your exhaust ... 15 mm socket , 13 mm ratchet wrench..13 mm socket and extension ..I use a trans jack under the exhaust to help lower it , same for the drive shaft... Or buy some beer and get your buddies to come over and help ..

I did the install and I didn't actually go by the torque specs just tighen it up with a cheater pipe til it was tight. I've had no issues since April.
