Johnny; you don't have to remove the yoke, true, but that seems to relieve some stress on the axle, making it easier to remove them. I once banged away with a hub about 5 times, then removed the yoke and it came right off. So I just do that as a habit as it only takes a minute plus it gives me a chance to see whats happening inside that pumpkin. Also it gives me a chance to drain the rear end grease. The seal and bearing will come off with the axle. Don't lose the shim, have the bearing/seal replaced and if the axle is going to be used for performance then have the hub and axle welded. Either way take it to someone to have it retorqued, your TSM or older Motors manual will show the proper set back..........Russ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
