I got tired and called it quits for the day. Everything is back together except for remounting tires, adding new gear lube, and test driving.

If all goes well I should be able to make the next run. clap

hmm, no. Is that an easy fix or would I need to pull everything apart again?

Yeah, according to this article the yoke needs to be shaved a little.

So, should I go for it, or leave it as is? mr-green
