Easy tool to remove pinion nut on 08 Honda rancher rear end/diff

I don’t think this method is limited to just an 08. I bought a 6$ pipe fitting at Home Depot and grinded all the sides down until it could fit right in the pinion nut spun it off with a vice and huge channel locks and some elbow grease, but I think big vicegrips would be better!
The pipe fitting was I think 1 1/2 x 1 1/4 don’t quote me bring your diff in just to make sure the pipe fitting slides over your pinion gear as it does in the picture! Figured I would share this since I couldn’t find any other tools to work. Click the image to open in full size.
