So I've never had the space or budget for nice air tool setup and probably never will. That being the case how am I to the front yoke from spinning so I can remove the 1" 1/8 nut on my SYE install??? Quick and easy. A badass homemade yoke wrench. Breaking loose and reinstalling and re torque couldn't be easier... How about it? Anyone else make something they needed to do the job instead of buying the giga dollar tool?? Lets see!

Yep, I've got a piece of 1/4"x3" flat stock about 4 feet long with a bunch of holes drilled in the ends...I usually just use 2 of the strap bolts to hold it in place for pinion nuts when there's a crush sleeve

Yours is nicer though...
 
I just use a big pipe wrench. But as for making tools i do it all the time. I turn wrench for a living and work on all makes and models so if I could make it I will. I’ll snap a picture of my toolbox draws tomorrow if I remember. It will amaze you lol
