I need to remove the rear output yoke on my np203 case to the new tcase that I bought so I can throw it in there, but that SOB is ON THERE.

have any of you guys taken them off before? have any ideas to get it loose?

I can usually get them off with an impact wrench, but if that dosent work or you dont have have an impact handy try clamping the yoke with a big monkey wrench and lean on bolt with a long breaker bar. Soaking it with PB blaster for a few hours dosent hurt either.

2nd that, the longer the bar the better.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend this, but I've put a pipe wrench on the yoke, spun it up against the floorboard, slipped a cheater pipe over a breaker bar and appropriate socket, had someone hold it in place under the truck, and jumped up and down on the end of the cheater bar.

oops meant to hit the quick reply button instead of the thanks

but either way, i'm going to go get an impact wrench from a buddy, and if that doesn't work ima try the big monkey wrench idea. breaker bar and channel locks didnt work, whoda thunk

Yeah I second the pipe wrench idea.
I have a mean ole 2 footer...
works great with the 3/4" ratchet and a pipe.
A strong impact can work also but you will still need to hold the yoke firmly to get the most out of it.

Are you talking about the nut or actually pressing the yoke off of the output shaft itself?

Just noticed the date on this thread, wonder if he got it off?

yeah, a regular impact wrench with plenty of WD40 did the trick

getting the fuggin np203 into the truck was a whole different, bigger problem.
