Well, three months into the D20 and now I'm ready to put it back together, at this rate I should be on the road by Aug, 2029. Life keeps getting in the way.
This question revolves around the output shaft bearing preload, I have the "larger" bearing as recommmended to check shim/output endplay, I also found some NOS spicer yokes as mine were chewed up. Test fitting the yokes I note the yoke won't slip onto the shaft, I'm guessing this means light hammering to get it to go on until the non locking bolt can take it to torque, correct?
Next question, my guess is since I need to malletize the yoke on, I will need to tap the shaft out of it when done to use the real bearing and install the seal, any problems driving the shaft out with a drift, no damage to bearing?
By the way, the yokes are Spicer # 2-4-4061x and they come with dirt shields.
