I approve of this post. Will also come in handy for breaking the rust bond between the hub assembly and spindle. I wish I had thought of this actually haha. Good play sir.

I had thrown that in there in jest, but I would totally do it. I should say I have done it. Most recent, tearing down a couple 14b semi floats to evaluate, had a socket for the pinion nuts, but did not have a 3/4 drive ratchet or breaker bar, or adapter from 3/4 to 1/2. So air hammer and chisel, grab a flat and they broke loose and spun off pretty easy that way.
I’ve not done it myself, but if you work on many full floating rears, from 3/4 ton pickups to class 8 rigs, you will certainly come across spindle nuts/lock nuts that have been installed or removed that way.
