This method whilst valid for removing and replacing the pinion flange to change the seal, is not reliable method of retorquing if you replace the pinion bearings because the new bearings will vary in thickness from the originals due to production tolerances and coming from likely different makers etc.
By doing it this way the nut could be over or under tightened.
