Morning guys...

I went offroading over 2 weeks ago and my straps ripped off, with the assistance with a few guys telling me what to do I was able to remove the driveshaft from the slip yoke elimator...

Here's the problem, I mis placed the 4 bolts that brought the slip yoke elimator to the driveshaft yoke together... any idea what I can use to replace them? Or do I need to go online and try looking for these same looking bolts... the only thing I remember were that they were used with a 1/2 wrench and had a 12 pt. Head... and were probably 2 maybe 3 inches long.

 

You could try a junkyard probably cheaper then anything new when i go to mine if I buy something else they usual give me as much free hardware I can carry I one hand

 

That's the thing the few jeeps that were out there in the junkyard only had the driveshafts that connected to the transmission with no screws... with the rubber housings only

 

U bolts!

I appreciate the thread but its the wrong side... and I have that replaced with u bolts already...

 

Is there some readon you can't do U bolts in the SYE...? They're both 1310 yokes.

 

No... ill give it a try but it seem like the bolts were smaller than the u bolts. Worth a try

 

The bolt is a 5/16-24.

 

^^^ Yup, 5/16-24.

 

They are. You have to drill out the yokes to use the u bolts as per the thread. Or is that not what you meant?

 

No... what I'm talking about has a u joint attached to the driveshaft and a flat surface on the side that connects to the slip yoke side...

 

The flat piece is on the right side... the other side (left) is whereit connects to the rear differential

 

Eh? That photo has a U joint on the right...

Are you talking about an SYE/DS that uses a flange-style yoke like this?

 

U bolts are stronger than the straps

 

Yea salad... I'm pretty sure that's what I mean...
