Re: Yoke for an AMC20
Did you drill it too big or too small?
Or was it too wide or too narrow?

Re: Yoke for an AMC20
The bolt holes were too close together for the ubolt. If I closed the bolt
so that it would fit the holes, then it was too small to fit the ujoints.
The ubolt type yoke is actually a little larger than the strap type yoke. Of
course, the joint location is the same size, but the rest of the yoke is
larger.

Re: Yoke for an AMC20
The hole I made is pretty large (compared to the original hole), and I can't
imagine how the ubolt can be made to fit and still have enough material to
retain the integrity of the yoke.
In any case, Randy's Ring and Pinion has a new Yoke Kit that contains the
yoke, ubolts, oil seal, ujoint and pinion nut, all for about $35. The yoke
alond costs $32, so the rest of the stuff is thrown in for just $3 more.
Sweet deal!

Re: Yoke for an AMC20
Thanks.
I was thinking on converting mine to u-bolts and will check the
dimensions out 'real' carefully before I start.
I have a Dana 44 rear with the Dana 300 t-case.

Re: Yoke for an AMC20
Thanks.
I was thinking on converting mine to u-bolts and will check the
dimensions out 'real' carefully before I start.
I have a Dana 44 rear with the Dana 300 t-case.

Re: Yoke for an AMC20
There is a place on the Web called Randys Ring and Pinion. They carry a
"trail maintenance kit" that contains the yoke, ubolts, pinion seal and nut,
and ujoint all for $35, the yoke itself is $32 if ordered separately. I
can't believe they give away a ujoint for 3 bucks. These are USD prices, you
will pay double in Canada ;-)
