Re: transmission yoke removal
Please be aware some drive shafts are assembled to the yoke with an epoxy like compound. You can tell if this is the case by looking at the bosses the "U" joint caps are installed in. If you see a little "tit" sticking out, usually white in color and can't see a "C" clip inside on the cap, it's retained by this epoxy or plastic compound. It is necessary to heat the "U" joint mounting bosses until the compound forces itself out the little holes and while still hot removeing the caps with a press or across a vise with a BFH. When you have it seperated, let it cool and clean the holes in the yoke and shaft with sandpaper and the flat inside the drive shaft and on the yoke with a file, thats where the "C" clip on the new "U" will go. Use replacement "U" joints with greas fittings and grease it good after you put it in. jim

Little stuff left to do is mount winch, wet sand & buff out and build belly pan\running boards. Body work takes lots and LOTS of beer!!!! God, Guts and Guns made America and God, Guts and Guns will preserve it! The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shot  Jim or Paladin whichever you choose.
