How much are you guys taking off the back of the 14b yoke to fit the ubolts? Are you using a lock washer too? Seems tight and compromising the yoke already.

That looks about right.

If you'd used a smaller tool you wouldn't be making that thin spot.

i just take an angle grinder and make a flat.  i cant remember if mine has locks or not.  i took more material than that on both my rear drive shaft, and the two 14 yokes that make up my front two piece shaft and its been fine.


you could get fine thread top locks if your worried about no lock washers.

Good info. I took a little more than he did off and it was making me nervous. Glad to hear it's 571 rated. Top locks or Loctite are good ideas, getting enough off for lock washers too woulleave nothing left.
