Driveshaft yoke
I have a 1981 f-150, 302/c6 with 1 piece drive shaft. I am having a terrible time removing the yoke that goes on the rearend and the rearend I am taking the replacement yoke off of. I can't get a impact wrench to the repl. as it is in a barn. Any suggestions would be most useful.

Well, that ought to make the wife happy. She doesn't understand why a man has to buy so many tools. I can hear her now, you're only gonna use it 1 or 2 times, then it will be in that big red box of yours and by the way why can't I have a key to that thing? thanks for the info.

250 foot pounds.that's a lot of torque.and if you have used a breaker bar and snipe on a diferential you would know it's a PIA.as you try to loosen the nut ,the yoke will spin.an impact is the best tool, and the electric one's kick ***.IMO

My only experience with electric ones was an older Montgomery Ward one my dad had - they have gotten better since then. Even my air impact has trouble getting nuts that big off.
