How in the world do you get the yoke off the drive shaft? It looks like it has small pins pressed through the driveshaft/u joint. Ive drilled those out and still cant get this thing off. Am I missing something?

ALso if I get it off how do I get the new one to stay on with those pins being drilled out? Is there a clip or something?

Thanks!

 

stock u-joints are held in with nylon. use a small torch and the nylon will squirt out those holes

 

awesome. Thanks! Ill give it a shot in the morn..

 

the new joints will have clips

 

What he said just use a propane torch to evenly heat the end and the nylon will come out like a snake on the 4th of july...lol .

 

Got em both swapped today. Thanks for the help!

 

im not trying to hijack this thread but i have to get mine out also, i have my new rear coming in soon and strange finally called me needing to know what trans i have and they said they need the yoke to balance it... WHAT THE HECK IS THE YOKE? i think its the piece that slides into the trans and connects onto the driveshaft, just wanna make sure before i ship to strange so i dont delay delivery a few more weeks... thanks.

 

yes, the yoke is the part that slides into the trans

 

ok thanks.

 

Their gonna use your yole? That means that the front u-joint will be a hybrid. It will be two different sizes unless you new axle has the smaller stock size yoke too, but most upgrade to a 1350 u-joint

 

yea its gonna be a 1350...i cant wait to get this SOB back on the road
