Driveshaft issues
Posted: Mon Dec 27, 2004 10:21 am
I have an '89 Bronco II, 2wd with a 5 speed. The driveshaft in it has cv joints at both ends. Well.........the rear one is going bad (big news huh!) This is #2! I cannot find a reasonably priced replacement but I have an '85 BII parts truck with a stick. The driveshaft in it is 3 times the diameter, and has U-joints(3). Will bolt to the rear end, but not the (fake) transfer case in my 89.
NOW, the question.........Has anybody replaced the yolk from one of these cases? I think if I install the 85 yoke into my 89 case, I'll be good to go. Any clue what size the nut is holding the yoke? I believe it is metric because I couldn't fit a 1", 1 1/16" 1 1/8" or a 1 1/4" socket on the nut!!
Any help is appreciated.
