What are the signs for side yokes replacements

[SlyMart]

Thanks for your reply and your compliment nascar03. I wasn't sure if anyone was still looking at this thread.. lol The differential was rebuild and powercoated and I still have lots to do on the car before It's get bolted back up.. I will post more pictures of where I am at. I wanted to let you how I much I hate removing some undercoating.. it's very messy and my gf hates it when it do since it ends up on my clothes..

A multi crafter tool and a heat gun is a very important to have when trying to remove this stuff.
If the undercoating is very tick I use the multi-crafter or the heatgun. If the undercoating has a think coating then I use paint thinner. The key is to scrub and scrub until it's gone. I have a pail of water with multi purpose cleaner next to me which I use a clean rag to clean the used black thinner.
I love having a clean car and it's not fun to work on your car and your hands and up to your elbows are covered with undercoating. Some people might agree that it protects from rusting but how do you know that there might be rust underneath it. So people might spray this stuff to hide rust so they can sell their cars. Anyways I will remove all the undercoating on my car and protect it from rust another way.

Sorry you're not getting the responses you expected Sly. I would love to oblige but I can't even spell macanik let alone hold my own in a discussion with one. I too thank you though for posting. It blows me away some of the jobs that you guys tackle on your rides.... kudos to you all!

I wouldn't worry about no-one reading your posts. I read every post and look at all the pics when I get a chance. I can honestly say I am impressed by how much work some are able people do to their cars. Something that is way, way beyond my abilities especially when you consider that when I think of C3, I always follow it with PO.

Ok you guys don't need to reply every time I post something lol I was just wondering if people were actually reading on my updates that all.. Now I know..

 

[Rruuff Day]

Wait a minute! You mean we can't just post a reply?... We actually need to read your updates too?.... .... lol.... jk...

 

[SlyMart]

Yes you guys can reply lol

 

[buckhorn76]

coming right along. do you have the factory assembly instruction manual ? if not, consider buying one - shows you everything.

 

[SlyMart]

Yes I do,. I bought it at Corvette Central. I also bought many C3 Corvette restoration books too.

The thing I am looking for is a manual about the type of screws were used in the corvette and the torque specs.

The assembly manual doesn't say this type of info

 

[nascar03]

Hi Sly..
I believe the torque specs for every fastener in the car are in the factory GM manuals, located in tables near the back.
The assembly manual for my '75 has the torque specs as little notes on the each page.

Hey guys,

Is this normal my new HD yokes are so close to the rear compartment section? I don't remember being this close before.

 

[SlyMart]

Hey guys, I had lots of things going on with my life and now I am ready to jump on the car and finish it in time for summer..

 

[SlyMart]

Hi all

I just re installed the rebuilt differential with the new HD yokes and is it normal for the yokes to be that close to the rear compartment?

 

[nascar03]

Sly..
I'd say yes.. you're good to go.
I just peeked under mine and it is close but it is fixed and can't move so I think you're OK.
I couldn't get a proper picture..sorry.

Jr.Corvette can probably get a pic of his set-up that he did recently..
