help w/ Yukon axles & thrust spacers

Im trying to remember the details---but i had a set of Yukons that were in my 742 case with clutch type sure grip. It was recommended i remove the thrust button so they would engage the splines deeper? Sorry its been a while---

I did that while the pig was out to be sure.

Mine measured 27.75" from the splined end to the back of the big flange. Green style bearings



The answer can be found at moparts--the screen name DoctorDiff . He's the Yukon dealer where i bought mine .

Sorry i cant remember the details---------STUPID ALZHEIMERS !!

I've read others that said the same thing about removing the thrust buttons.

If your Yukon's measured 27.75 to the back of the flange and mine measured 27-11/16 to the front the Yukon's must be 5/16" longer. (think I figured that right?) That would explain having to remove the thrust buttons to make Yukon's work right.
