I've also used a slide hammer on many Mercedes with a single row bearings, that was the "former' special tool, which changed when guys were probably hurting themselves when double-row bearings became common, even on 124 wagons, man that was a BEAR of a job to get the flange off. So the new special tool is (or at least was, "back in my day") sort of a hydraulic ram to "press" the flange off, even includes an atapter to take the inner race off the flange. Sort of time consuming, but hey what price do you put on your shoulders, elbows, and wrists? When I did it all of these would ache that night, NOT worth it.
Last time I did a rear bearing was on a 85 325e BMW I was restoring, flange popped right off with my slide hammer, easy peasey. Nice video though, but the slide hammer I think was faster and not really hard to do. Single row is gravy. Gilly

It sure looks like a torque wrench to me, the pin holding it together down by the head, and it also looks like a knurled handle. But was always sort of blurry when you could see the handle. In a few shots that would show it for sure, the kids glove was over the dial area.
With a single row like a 201 I would recommend a slide hammer as easier to hook up (just use the wheel bolts) and way faster, and easier on your torque wrench
