Hi Mopowers, thanks for the offer! It's got the small u joints, but the job is done.

I tried having my dad step on the brake and set the e-brake, but there was enough flexion in there that we actually had to hold the yoke still. So we ended up putting a pipe wrench on it with the end of the pipe wrench in a jack stand base. The 2 of us pushing and pulling were able to get a click at 250 lbs.
