They can be found cheaper somewhere I assume but for no you may want to go to a shop and ask if they can do it for you and ask if you can watch.

Tried the only shop close to me, 2 weeks wait and they won't just take the nut loose, have to do the whole job.
 
If you’re in a real rush a long necked variable wrench like this might do the trick (pad teeth with fabric adhesive strips)

Or a DIN tank insert for now and wait on arrival of the scubatools socket/extension for the conversion

I personally ’d go with option 2, the thin walled socket has much better chance not slipping or hurting the finish on the yoke retainer (and would be better to reinstall the yoke if you wanna revert back)
 
I'm not too worried about scratching the nut, once I get the din adapter on I just use a din/ yoke adapter if I need to use it on standard tank valves. Yes, I'm well aware that I should have just gotten the din version....
 
Redneck socket solution if you have a drill-press and an angle-grinder.

Take appropriate sacrificial socket and run a bolt through it.
Chuck the bolt into the drill-press and run it.
Grind the socket down until it is profiled to fit into the yoke aperature and onto the yoke nut.

You'll probably need to lightly profile an extension to fit through the yoke screw threads.
 
I was converting recently a Scubapro Yoke to DIN. Unscrewed the Yoke nut with a standard spanner.

If I had to put the Yoke back on, I would have needed a special socket to torque to spec, but just for removing it... be creative.
