Perhaps a used one from a FSJ of late '70s vintage will work? From: "Jesse Barbieri" Subject: xj: terrible time (the real one) Sorry about that. My keyboard is really messing up these days. I am having a terrible time here with my '87 xj. I have tried a couple pinion yokes on my rear dana44, and nothing has worked. I even purchased this item: http://www.discountjeepparts.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/23901 Brian, the Sales - Tech of Off-Road MotorSports, Inc., told me it would work since it is 26 spline. This yoke goes on about .5" and stops. My original yoke goes on, but one of the tabs is broken and three bolts are broken inside it. Even if I drilled the yoke I still would not trust not having the tab to center the ujoint. Can anybody help me find a ubolt yoke that will definitely fit my axle? It is a 26 spline dana44 from my '87 4.0 4wd xj. I have no cars that work (and on the road) right now. The water pump in the ix just seized.

JB the older I get the more I realize that time can actually be spent by moving stuff completely out of the way... I watch good mechanics do this all the time and think to myself, why bother? I can wiggle in there... and then I realize that I've taken much longer to do the job and drop stuff down in crevices and so on... sometimes it's just easier and quicker to remove stuff... When doing the fuel injectors on the '92 XJ 4.0L I removed the stuff in the way and it went a lot faster... you know, I think Mr. Murphy watches to see if we take short cuts... :) if we do, he tries to help. :) john On Tue, 26 Jul 2005, J.B.
