96 Dakota 318 4x4. I may need to change the yoke. Does this diff use a crush sleeve or would I be able to simply remove and replace the yoke?
Thanks

The 8.25 differential uses a crush sleeve to set pinion preload. If you're careful when removing the old companion flange [after checking the rotating torque of the assembly] & replacing it with a new one [companion flange/bellville washer/pinion nut] tightened to the same rotating torque as before, you should be good to go!
You need to add 5 in lbs. of torque to whatever you recorded. Don't worry about the torque to remove the nut. The crush sleeve provides the bearing preload, and has to be "reloaded" to apply preload, which is why you add 5 in/lbs. of rotating torque.
