| polishing a slip yoke | Login/Join |

Have a Mark Williams yoke that measures 1.502 and need to polish it down to 1.499, has anyone done it? How did you do it? Would take one huge lathe to chuck the big end in. Rob Robertson | ||

what exactly is the issue that .003 needs to be removed and did you call Mark Williams to discuss the issue? | |||

You wouldn't have to chuck the big end. Just turn a taper to hold in the chuck and go in the splined area and use a flat end live center to hold it between them. Basically reversed between centers from what you described. I don't know what the Rockwell is of that, but if it's not too hard it shouldn't be a big deal. With all that said is it a bushing you are trying to fit it to and if it's new have you contacted MW to see what they say about the size.

I believe the roller bearing on the Reid case is a little smaller than the factory style bushing. I ended up buying a new yoke when I got my new case. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/ "Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability.

Edwad, Yes spoke to Jason at MW. Said it can be done. Curtis, Thanks, MW suggested using a splined arbor as well. Rob Robertson | |||

I had the same problem, mw yoke and reids case with tailshaft bearing and it would not go in,i just emory cloth the heck out of it and with some trans fluid on the shaft it eventually slid right in. but it definitely took some polishing | |||

OR you could put it on a lathe like I posted and make sure it's round when you are finished. My way I could make a mandrel, indicate it in and hard turn it if I chose to. No reason not to do it right. ____________________________ 2017 and 2018 Osage Casinos Tulsa Raceway Park No-Box Champion 2018 Div4 Goodguys Hammer award winner | |||

X2, shoestring, sandpaper and a lot of elbow grease! | |||

X3. It was a hassle to figure out out to chuck it. So I went this way. Turned out fine and has ran for years like this. Foxtrot Juliet Bravo | |||

If I had access to a lathe there is no way I would do it as Jen said though. JMO Curtis ____________________________ 2017 and 2018 Osage Casinos Tulsa Raceway Park No-Box Champion 2018 Div4 Goodguys Hammer award winner | |||

This sounds familiar!! I have a MW yoke that was too big and wouldn't slip in my tailhousing bushing. I posted on YB asking about dimensions. MW answered and had me call him, send the yoke in and they ground it to spec. http://www.yellowbullet.com/fo...t=1686122&highlight= Might not be your problem if it mics right. We did use a rod hone to size the bushing before the yoke was reground. | |||

Will check with a couple local machine shops to see if any can turn it down. Just want to make sure it’s stays true. Rob Robertson | |||

I had a pg input that needed a few thou removed. I c-clamped my 4 1/2 upside down on the work bench with an 80 grit flapper, took a couple practice swings, and got it just right on the first pass. | |||

Maybe yours is different, my local machine shop said it would have to be finish ground like a crank. | |||

I wasn't sure I could turn it if I chucked it. They are pretty hard. Foxtrot Juliet Bravo | |||

MW does grind theres down if you tell them its for a bearing and not bushing. I had them do it when ordering. My question is why the hell is there a difference ,especially .003? America home of free. Brought to you by 2nd amendment. | |||
