  1. Ok, I took the yoke and housing with new bushing to a machine shop. Turned out it was just a small burr keeping it from sliding in easy and moving smoothly. I reassembled everything. The play in the yoke was gone and all looked good. Took it for a test drive and a much smaller leak was still there coming out from where the output shaft/extension housing meets the yoke. Not as much but still a pretty decent leak. Can't see anything because of the large metal dust covers on both pieces. I'm wondering about my technique installing the seal itself. I pounded it in the first time and it seemed to cave in in the middle and the spring fell off inside the housing. I pulled it and tried again but did not install it as far to hopefully keep the spring in place and prevent an uneven install. Guess I could have damaged the seal when pulling it back out with a puller but I'm worried I din not push it in far enough? I didn't take a pic but the metal dust ring (behind the felt washer and rubber seal) was flush with the lip of the extension housing it fits in, but I think it could have gone in farther. I plan on dropping the driveline again and putting in a new seal so just looking for some pointers for that part. Thanks!
  2. Ok, I received the parts and everything actually matches as far as I can tell. Now looking at the new seal, it looks like the little rubber part with the spring was the remnants of the old seal which must've fell out and off. the only thing remaining attached was the metal dust shield. TONS of play when jiggling the old yoke in the old bushing and pitting at the yoke. But new yoke and bushing are much tighter. In fact, too tight to insert the yoke when I installed the new bushing. Questions: 1. I plan on bringing the new yoke and the extension housing with new bushing to a machine shop to hone the bushing so the yoke will slide in (it currently won't go in). Is that the proper thing to do? Are there specs somewhere for this? 2. For the rear seal, I don't have any reference as to how the seal is to be put in (since the old one was destroyed). There's 3 pieces- a rubberish seal, a felt seal, and a dust cover. Which orientation does the rubber seal go in to the extension housing? Left one is the rubber seal. Does it go in the housing this way? Or this way? Thanks for all your help! Abe
  3. The spring fits inside the rubber part. Fits in a groove on the outside of the rubber to keep tension I think.
  4. Ok, I decided to go for it and replace the yoke and u-joint and the extension housing seal and bushing. I removed the extension housing and noticed there was a loose rubber seal/spring inside the housing (loose around the tail shaft). Does anyone know what that is? Is it a part of the seal that came loose? Or perhaps the shop that put the seal in for me last time added it to help stop the leak?? My new seal and other parts are shipping so I don't have anything to compare it to yet.
  5. Any idea where to find the yoke? My mechanic replaced the bushing and rear seal but that turned out to be a temporary fix and the leak has increased. Before replacing them, he showed my the yoke which had a groove worn in it. I'd like to replace it if parts are available. Thanks, Abe
  6. I know this is an old thread but figured I'd try... Who does this kind of work? Get a hitch and take to welder or a trailer shop? Thanks.
  7. Thanks, it looks like it is a 1986. Thanks. Can I just drop the driveline and pull the yoke out to replace both of those (yoke and bushing) or need to do something at the transmission? My mechanic showed me some wear at the part of the yoke that enters the tranny (it's an automatic). He had replaced the back seal to try to stop a small leak but its leaking worse now so he's thinking this is the next step. I was hoping to do it myself if it's not too difficult.
  8. Hi, Rookie question here: Anyone know a good source for parts for our 87 Toyota Dolphin (22RE, auto trans)? I'm specifically looking for a driveshaft slip yoke for the auto trans right now. Also when searching Camarata and enter the VIN, it sends me to a Toyota 4Runner for parts. Is this the base model for these? Thanks! Abe
