Pinion Shaft Yoke Nut!
I am trying to get my Slip Yoke Eliminator kit installed but I ran into a BIG problem!
i pulled off both drive shafts and went to loosen the Front Pinion Shaft Yoke Nut and it would not budge a bit. So i pulled out the impact gun and went at it again. STILL NOTHING!!!
soaked it in PB Blaster, even torched it! Nothing is working.
Am i missing somthing?
please dont tell me this thing is reverse thread!!!
ANY Help is Appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance!

I don't understand how to use the jeep to loosen it...4wd apparently, fun until something snaps. I just use a breaker bar and a little elbow grease....

When I did my sye, I had the same issue. I just wedged a 3 lb sledge between the case and yoke to keep it from turning. worked like a dream 
good luck

So I crawled back under the jeep and figured id give it one last shot my way before i started trying everyones suggestions. I beat the hell out of the nut to un-seize it...then took my impact gun to it (for the 20th time) and what do u know!
just as i was about to pull every last hair out of my head, this happened: (see pics)
thanks again to everyone for the help! hope this thread helps someone else in the future!
