Rear Axle bearing clearances

Hi I'm Fred,
I am seeking information for the clearances of a rear axle bearings. I recently purchased a 2006 Tundra Crew Cab SR5 and the driver side had a gear oil leak. I pulled the axle and when trying to remove the bearings and ABS ring, I couldn't get the puller under the ABS ring as it seemed too close even though I removed 2 bolts first to have the needed clearance. In watching some Youtube videos prior to taking on the task, none seem to have this clearance issue. I was able to remove bearing and ABS ring after purchasing another type puller. I have my bearing kit to reinstall but I'm pretty sure the clearance left by someone before me is incorrect. I just saw on another account where someone said the top of the final bearing should only be 5mm from where the axle begins to reduce in size. I have a Haynes Tundra manual but can't find the clearances that I need.
I hope this request isn't too confusing as I may have not described it thoroughly. Any help is greatly appreciated and I am looking forward using to this forum.
Thanks again,
Fred

Yup, this video is key, as well as that toyota axle tool.

Here's the tool in action. I forgot to properly orient the tool in the studs.


5mm clearance in front vs fully pressed in back.



If it's pressed too far you'll have to pull all the studs to jam the tool under there.
