Default AWD front axle nut removal

I saw a special punch tool recommended to get the axle nut off. Has anyone attempted or removed the nut without it or how do we undo the notch in the axle?

Turning it works as does a small punch or larger center punch and hammer. Its very pliable and will move.

Yeah, I just used a punch within that notch and hammered out the lip of the axle nut. Then hit it with my IR impact. Done!
