Broke Yoke
Ok.. I just got the Jeep off the jack stands and on the ground.. We were
pressing in the u-joint for the yoke for the Ford 8.8 yoke to flange adapter
when the groove for the u-joint c-clip broke off... Check out these pics...

Re: Broke Yoke
Hi Ben,
Next time push the first cap over half way out towards the center
of the yoke, before you start the opposite cup, that lessens the chance
of a bearing falling out of place to the bottom.

Re: Broke Yoke
That is a really common failure after a u-joint vibrates itself to
death. I would be checking the other half very carefully because I
usually see the little tab there bent. It is cast and bending it back
will last maybe 2 or 3 miles......
