So i had a problem with driveshaft yoke. When i had my engine removed i damaged the yoke by leaving it wet (unintentionally) by doing all the cleaning and power washing. The surface on the yoke developed rust quickly and ate away some of the metal. At first, i tried cleaning it out with sand paper but that proven to fail anyway. Always protect the yoke after removing it from the transfer case! I learned that the hard way cry

Overall it was a PITA to replace it while working under the car with driveshaft attached to the chassis.

^ here you can see surface damage caused by rust on the yoke.

^ The leak spread oil on my down pipe. It smelled like crap

^ New yoke with u-join and new caps. Also replaced output shaft on the transfer case.

^ Extracting yoke out of the drive shaft sick

Pressing caps onto new u-joint and yoke drool with the help of the bench vise

Not looking forward doing that again anytime soon. Thankfully the yoke leak is history now whistle

And the good news:

- Replaced stock crank pulley with Fluidampr pulley (the one i got during black friday sale). 6Bolt guys be aware you need to trim plastic lip off your lower timing cover for it to fit. On 2G it still touches the cover slightly but i left it as is and it works.
