Turbo Yukon Race Week Prep: Putting Logan To The Test...Putting Uncle Rob's Rear End Back Together!
What happens here
Remove the factory pinion yoke from the rear differential. This typically requires a specialized puller tool. The mechanic uses a three-footed steering wheel puller tool to successfully remove the old, rusted pinion yoke. Once removed, clean the area around the differential. The old dust shield and seal from the original pinion yoke can often be pressed off and reused with a new pinion yoke. The mechanic notes that the original seal is in poor condition and recommends replacing it.
Goal: Install a new pinion yoke to ensure proper driveline function.
