Confirm the size but I think that’s it. Available on Amazon, and likely something similar at local auto parts store

I don’t believe it’s that tight, you could try using a drift punch

 

It can be done with a punch in a pinch. I'm usually a collector of tools but didn't wanna wait, needed to drive my truck to work monday morning.

 

I did sit there with a punch for about 5mins to no avail. Amazon had that tool above with next day shipping for 20 bucks so I ordered it.

Now to worry about the jig for a press as I have no thick steel plates laying around other than the ones that came with the press

 

I used this one -

$19 OEMTOOLS 25969 Toyota 4 Pin Hub Locknut Socket, Removes and Installs Locknuts on Tacoma, 4Runner, and T100 4WD, 1/2" Drive, Solid Pin Design, Prevents Locknut Damage

Absolutely need to apply downward pressure when turning or those 'pins' will pop right out. Can put them back in of course. Did the job but if I needed to do it again, I'd look for a more dependable/reliable version of the tool.

 

Take some scrap steel rod sized to fit those holes.

Take some scrap plate to join the two and make your own wrench.

You could put a sort of handle on it to give you the ability to throw a round tube over it for added leverage.

 

What am I? A welder?

 

I swapped out the roll pins in that socket. I used thicker roll pins from harbor freight. Had to clamp em closed a little so they would fit in the socket, now the pins don’t fall out or bend.
