Need to tighten up bolt on rear yoke on front diff

Just a question to consider. With all of the talk about large impact wrenches, make sure you have a compressor with enough CFMs to run the big guns.

 

Ok. Thank you. Propane torch good enough for the loctite or do I need more heat

 

It probably will, just take a little while. Ultimately, loctite is just a plastic material and it doesn't take much heat to melt it, but the yoke is going to be absorbing heat fast. With a little time, it should work though.

 

I ran a half inch air line off my secondary tank on my truck and installed a G style coupler on the rear light bracket. It runs my one inch pinless no problem.

 

You can run a big gun off a small compressor. Just depletes the air very fast. Your typical 60 gallon 220 volt compressor is pretty much taxed to the max running a 3/4 IR or CP impact. You can usually knock off 1 wheel before needing to let the air build back up.

 

Hell, as out of shape as I am driving this truck, I can knock off about one wheel before I need to take a break and let my strength build back up. Lol

 

I've never needed more than a long handled 12-point 1/2" box wrench to break them loose. It's typically blue loc-tite which shouldn't need heat.

 

Make sure you get that nut on good, it’s no fun when you lose it

 

Usually, but I've run across several Sterling's that used Red and Volvo liked to use yellow. I guess they don't trust Spicer. The point was, if they don't come out, a little heat will usually get them out easily.

 

this video shows removing the front yoke and i beleve re installing the rear yoke. as well as the rear u joint.

remember that the nuts and strap kits are considered one time use only.
