you can't pull the clips, then drive the caps off with a small bolt through the zerk fitting against the cross? thats how the CTMs I had were supposed to be disassembled. easy.

clips are full circlip and are destroyed if you bend or cut them to remove.

the cross hits the yoke..... before the cap is half pushed out

Remove zerk

Thread in 3/16" or 1/4" whatever right size bolt that's 1 1/2" long, full thread

Expand full circle clip w c clip pliers and work out of cap groove without fucking it up. Or fuck it up to remove it and replace it on reassembly

Remove cap from cross by threading bolt into hole, bottoming against cross and using the hardened cap threads to draw the cap out.

No pressing, no bottoming.

i doubt a bolt that small will do anything, but i had not thought of that.



these caps take about a dozen full arm swings with medium sledge to get them to go in.  Both mine and matts shoulders hurt and that was two guys (some what intelligent) fudding with one shaft for and hour.  they dont seem to care about getting beat on.  it took us 5 times of watching the video on how to even get the C clips inside the yoke with the cross in before you get the caps in.

Oh.

Damn.

Maybe not so much with the CTM method, then.

Tcase mounted! Smike is a boss at bending 3/8" plate with a sledge.

Sent an email to Yukon about extra o-rings and snap rings, no reply yet. They are doing it wrong. Phone goes straight to voicemail. Bah!

Bolted up the t case to the subframe and trans/engine mocked up to where it will live. Mike made sweet motor mounts in the amount of time it took me to set the engine/trans in position and hook it up to the t case! Lol

Hugger headers clear the motor mounts very nicely.



Added a 1350 input yoke off of the scrapped GMC too.



Engine and trans set.

i was thinking about our trans yoke issue.  i think we should leave out the bolt, and weld the bolt hole on the yoke shut.  keep fluid in and let the seal do its job.  for a fixed yoke the spline was like 4.5" long and i think that's plenty for this.



both our TH400's are fixed yokes, being solid divorced, 1/4" of play might keep things happier.  571 has a slip yoke TH350
