A super-size pipe wrench makes a good yoke holder.

Thanks for everyones help! I finally was able to crush the sleeve, but it took some enginuity... Stack of blocks stopping the channel locks, which had a hose clamp around the handle holding the jaws tight. Then I used a floor jack to tighten the nut. Little by little, I would jack it up, then take it all off and measure rotational torque... Needless to say, just took a test drive and everything is peechy!

AndyF has a yoke holder available here, I think it uses a 3/4" breaker bar or ratchet.
That's a yuppie tool Unless you have a concours NOS Hemi yoke that you don't want to scratch then just use a pipe wrench. A pipe wrench is much faster especially if you are setting pinion bearing preload. Just my

I'm trying to figure out how you would go about figuring out the torque with that setup.
the pipe wrench would be removed when checking pinion bearing preload with an inch-lb torque wrench just the same as the yoke holder would be removed when checking pinion bearing preload. Both serve the same purpose: to hold the yoke when tightening or loosening the pinion nut. Maybe I just don't understand what you mean?
