How To: Restoration of Ford M8 armoured car US Ordnance number 7373

[John Mackie]

Darryl over the years i have had to remove many pinion yokes. as yet i have not had to go past the tool attatched to the yoke with 2 bolts.
if you have to resort to heat you have to use a lot of heat and get the yoke hot quickly before the heat conducts to the pinion. a hit with a heavy hammer on the puller bolt IF IT IS YOURS may help.
best of luck with the great project.
I WOULD REMOVE THE BALL BEARING AS IT MAY SHATTER AND FLY.
John.
