"Home-Brewed" Pinion Yoke Wrench.

I need to remove the pinion yoke on "Ole Blue" to Up Grade to larger U Joints.
As you know, the pinion nut has a minimum torque of 240 ft lb. I had no way to hold and keep the pinion from turning.
So, I hit the scrap pile again.
One piece of 3/8" thick plate steel and one piece of 24" long 3/4" iron pipe. About an hour of layout, cutting and assembly.
I now have a Pinion Yoke Wrench.
