Two steps forward, one step back.
Took the driveshaft to the school shop today (I'm a teacher), and went to press out that yoke. Pressed on the bolt. Heard that nice "ting!" noise that two pieces make when they move apart. Unfortunately, I discovered the noise was the bolt skipping threads in the yoke and destroying the threads. No threads left on the bolt when I had to use an impact to back it out. The yoke will need to be tapped for a larger bolt.
Advice on exactly how to take the yoke/bearing apart? I want to make sure I am supporting the right part, and pressing on the correct area. I've got the outer rubber/casing off the bearing. When apart, does the bearing stay with the shaft or the yoke? I guessed the yoke, and held the bearing while pressing on the center of the shaft through the yoke. I'm thinking I had it backwards. I was trying to do this on a shop press.
See this photo from rocktonka for what I'm talking about.
