I just installed a new rear output seal and bushing in my NP231. Everything went pretty smoothly until the very last step, re-installing the rear drive shaft. It seems that the yoke will not fit past the new transfer case bushing I installed. The link below is the bushing I bought and installed, although the actual part looked slightly different than the photo (little golf ball like dimples are on the inside of the one I received). What am I missing ? I didn't think you should have to force the yoke through the bushing so did I buy the wrong part or screw something up? Thank you guys for your time and I really appreciate any assistance you can offer.

sounds like you got the wrong bushing

 

It certainly seems that way but I was confused because the part # from the link (that I ordered) is the same as on the package I actually received and it was only part # I found on the website for the NP231 rear shaft bushing. Has anybody had experiences with this vendor as a source for parts? Any links to the correct part would be very much appreciated.




Thanks,

Nathan

 

Bump.
