Oh and i just found this on my rear axle yolk. How do i fix it?

jimmy21669

You don't. Actually a little blurry....but is the ear broken?

a_shirey

My SYE. Idk why. But i feel like it wouldve helped here. The hole is real far away from where the shaft connects to the TC. How could the hole have been made?

a_shirey

How do i go about replacing it?

dukie564

x2 you need to replace it

jimmy21669

Ok...it comes in threes....mine, then Alec's...whose is next...hurry up and get it done!

jimmy21669

Get another yoke...there is a yoke nut in the center.....take off the nut, take off the yoke....replace.

The ear as you two call it is all messed up. I bet the shaft kept spinning and hit the hell out of it. Its only on 2 opposite sides.

I'm betting when your driveshaft let loose it bounced off the case - 20lbs of steel at 60MPH does some damage

You'll need to remove the pinion nut and slide on a new yoke.

a_shirey

Good. I thought it was going to be much more difficult than that. Thanks

Alec if you need my case I'll help you pull it and you can pay me later on.

Edit: thanks for taking my bad luck.....who's next?

a_shirey

But how id it move back to pull out( :worm: ) and then move forward 8 inches to smack that?

Alec I have a 8.25 yoke in my shed that's with the spare axle i posted about yesterday. You can have it if you at some point grab me a replacement from the junkyard

a_shirey

I will take you up on that offer if i cant get a new one quickly. Thank you.

The fact that an ear on the yoke broke, it seems more like the TCase threw the chain and blew out the side of the case...locking the driveshaft while rolling, which tore it off the rear yoke. That did not come off the rear first.....Case is complete toast....replace the whole thing...I can find you one around $100.....

Replace rear yoke.


Aaron....what is the deal with the 8.25 you have sitting from Kool Aid?
