A large pipe wrench works to hold the yoke.

I made one that bolts on now, but have always used a large pipe wrench as mentioned above also.

I have one that looks like yours in the middle there. Think I bought it off Mancini's (?) website many years ago. Could be. I've been selling parts to Mancini for more than 20 years.

This was a short piece of left-over roll bar tubing with a piece of 1/4" plate, clearanced rectangle around the companion (pinion yoke); works quite well!

that is what I use. MoparX which third member are you working on? If it is a "489" case then you need to know how much rotational torque it has both ways now before you loosen the nut up so you can tighten it back up enough to have 1 to 5 inch lbs. MORE rotational torque when your done

My 35 year old 110 electric Makita is ALL I’ve ever used, never once has a nut backed off (a little red loctite helps too) Beautiful, except the OP was asking how you hold the yoke when you are torquing the pinion nut. I hope you aren't using that same Makita for that.

If it is a "489" case then you need to know how much rotational torque is has both ways now before you loosen the nut up so you can tighten it back up enough to have 1 to 5 inch lbs. MORE rotational torque when your done working on a 741 case that is still in the car Cab. i'm not a fan of using a pipe wrench due to the possibility of the teeth marking up the yoke. i had thought about making a tool like the several that have been shown. i'll probably do just that, although as i get older, i find there is no such thing as a 5 minute [or 5 hour for that matter] job.

I hope you aren't using that same Makita for that. I use my hand to hold the yoke, take a hammer and hit a nail hard, the nail drives into the wood, now a slow tap on the nail, no move. The Makita works on same principal as the fast swinging hammer! It’s called FORCE, kinetic energy
