    Some folks will basically take the rear portion of the drive shaft and flip the "rear" to the "middle" of the overall drive shaft.

    I put in a metal tube between the 2 holes and pulled…..didn’t work out.

    I tried heat. Hitting it non stop with different hammers. Pullers didn’t work.

    ended up going with a woody driveshaft

    glad i found this post, didn’t want to end up like broken yoke guy. probably would’ve ended up with that if i didn’t just keep hammering the hell out of the yoke. my forearm is sore, but my yoke eventually slid off a n one piece. do not pull off the yoke holes. some of these are really stuck and only hammering the god damn shit out of it will do the trick if you’re good with a hammer

    For Certain! Let me know if you need any help. Don't forget to that if you are doing your U-joints (if needed) try and line them up so that you can grease them all easily without having to move the wheels in the future.

    Wow your penetrating mix of choice .

    I used a gear puller took very little pressure keeping a close watch to not damage the yoke.

    I didnt have acess to a gear puller or anything like that when I did mine. Had I, I would have imagined it would have come of pretty easily. My Favorite is KROIL...but all I had on hand at the time was PB Blaster. Letting it sit a little definitely helped.

    Been there like most of have been at times.

    I must say those pullers come in real handy at times.

    Glad it was finished without major carnage.:thumbsup:
