Been a long time but I don't remember it being a problem. So the pinion will flop around without the yolk. This is good news. It just kinda looked as if there is nothing holding the thing in place. So when I torque the yolk back in, it will tighten up again? I will try to look this up in the archives but usually have a hard time finding anything that way. I am dumber with computers, than with mechanics. Probably be faster trying it in the garage.
Thanks for the seal info. 7126 it is. I noticed the origanal was quite beefy. Will the replacement be just a seal, or was it that tough for a reason? Sorry for going on but I just gotta know.
