The problem with getting a tool for that is that you cant buy cheap ones. Only the manufacturers of high end tools make them and in small quantities so you just have to wear the price.
I bought a 3/4 drive socket the right external diameter and cut it back so there was 4 tangs, it works quite well but even the ordinary socket was about $40.
When you do go to undo the nut use some heat as the factory used red loctite and it needs heat to melt it.
