Sounds like you are good to go then. You will have to pull the flange off as the seal is in back of it. There is a thick cork gasket that goes under the flange. If you cant get one a thick bead of RTV will work. When you put the yoke on put it so the cotter pin hole will be between the openings. Tighten the pinion nut very tight & go further to line up the cotter pin holes.
