Tony..
That is probably the problem..Use some heat on the yoke ,evenly and quickly all the way around while the puller has tension on it./you may find that you don't even have to tap it ...It will expand enough to pop free..
If it doesn't ..then tap it ..hot and under tension..it will loosen it up..

Hi Guys

Thanks to you all for the advice which I put into practice and the yoke finally surrendered to me. I had a bit of a problem when the puller shot off, after a few alterations and a few good whacks with the hammer I had another go, then after a loud crack the puller started working easier and the yoke came off. The old oil seal was next and the seal puller I purchased made the removal easier. I am now ready to fit the new oil seal and put the whole thing back together. It was suggested I pack the shaft and seal with RTV sillicon before putting the yoke back on, I guess that should solve the problem of the oil leak.

Cheers

Tony

a light smear on the outside of the seal as its pushed into the housing is all thats needed. The seal is just that and will do its job if the yoke isn,t damaged or the brg worn causing the shaft to flap about. sealing the splines only requires a small amount of sealant behind the washer before tightening the nut.
