SYE Install Screw Up

Isn't that more for the flange style outputs? I don't know that I would trust the small bolts you would use to mount that to a TJ front yoke. Maybe if you can get all 4 in and tightened down.
Those vehicles do all have the flange type in/out puts, but it works well combined with a good impact. If it was all manual work with a breaker bar, then maybe I'd worry about shearing bolts.
That said, I've crushed several Ford and 1 Dana 30 sleeve with it and it's always worked well, starting the main hard crush with an impact and creeping up on the final spec by hand.

That is pretty reasonably priced... I feel like this is probably gonna be more than a 40$ pain in the ass if I had the money
I have one, it works well. I bent the piece that mounts it to a pipe when I tried to crush an impossible to crush crush sleeve.
OP
I already removed my skid
Though putting the skid back on might be easier than putting the case back together if I can't get the pipe wrench wedged right
OP
It looks like the tab the pipe goes over is pretty short for the amount of force you need to put into it tbh
OP
Aw yeah now we're in the mix stay tuned to see if the skinny arms can deliver
Ohh yah baby, and you got the big one!
Hope that works out, 1 out of 4 times i managed to wedge it in and it worked, other 3 times i was chewing up the yoke beyond recognition.
If you cant get a good grip, pipe wrench should have a loop hole on the bottom of the handle, use it for 2 bolt method. Handle should be long enough to reach and use frame for support
Also, Advanced Autoparts has a phenomenal selection of rental tools
OP
Awh yeah we got it! Easier than expected lol and didn't chew up the yoke much. I didn't even need to wedge it just held it and pulled the breaker bar
You guys are the best thanks for the help and offers for help

I’ll post here instead of starting a new JB thread. Does the lock ring on the shaft have to be flush all the way around? The new one that the sssye came with has a gap when installed?
It needs to be fully in the groove for its entire diameter.
When I tap it in flush, it pushes out the other side. Should I take it out and try and bend it back to its original state?
