CHeck with a reputable shop that services rear-ends and gear assemblies.
howziit Mechainiac!
sorry, my bad. thanks for being kind enough, not to shoot me down.
i guess i'm speaking like an over-enthusiastic amateur... which i am.
i just removed my old pinion yoke, waiting for DENNY'S DRIVESHAFT to send me the 1350-series yoke.(he never emphasized worst-case scenario.)
should i just take a chance, and torque it on? what's the worst-case scenario?
i'll call the locals for an answer, but i wanted your unbiased opinion. sometimes i think the local shops want to scare me, into giving them my business.
sorry if i steered anybody wrong, about replacing the pinion yoke.
