Since I'm replacing u-joints and found a nice groove in the neck of the yolk that connects to the out put shaft. I decided to replace the rear seal and bushing, I found that I had a heck of a time getting to the rear seal. The cross member gets in the way and I can't easily access the seal, so I decided to take the tail cone off. That was a fun experience but I did get the tail cone un-bolted, however the same cross member won't let me take the tail cone off. Do I try to force the tail cone through or is there something else I need to do? Has someone come across this problem? Life would be much easier if I could get the dang thing off. Thanks for any help. BTW GM does not make that yoke anymore the closest replacement part from spicer has a shorter neck and cost $200.00 so I went to my machinist and he welded on some metal over the groove and turned it. It came out good as new and only cost me $40.00.
