Alright guys, lookin for a few pointers on gettin the diff yoke back in nice and snug. I took a hammer and pounded it out about 3/4" or so to get to the tent leftovers from a freeway incident in a different posting. Now I tried pounding it back in and it doesn't seem to want to go all the way back in, plus I'm leaking oil, so I know it's not fully seated. :duh: Tips, tricks, well wishes?? Much obliged.

Thanks guys (I think). I was told by another source (not on this board) that I wouldn't have to deal with those. I never even considered playing the insurance card, though. Usually take care of the majority of mechanical stuff myself. Guess we'll see what Auto Zone has in stock.

Decided to bite the bullet and take her into a gear shop that was recommended to me. I'm not a rear-end kinda guy (in any way), and I figure this could be a costly "repair" if I proceed any further. Is there anything else I should be taking care of down there while I've got it in the shop? I've got almost 160K miles on her and haven't even replaced the gear oil :nono: (until now) I'm usually on top of stuff like that. Thanks again for the help guys!
