Saving a slipyoke
I've done this several times over the years, with no problems yet.

WD40 works just as well.

Re: Saving a slipyoke
Looks good. As long as there is no pitting on the surface there shouldn't be any problems. Pitting will tear up a seal in no time. Slip yokes do wear out over time too. I wrap my spare slip yokes with tape to prevent rust from forming, also helps keep stuff off the inside splines.

Re: Saving a slipyoke
All good thoughts, but rusty is how they tend to be when you buy a used driveshaft. be sure to measure the outside diameter in several places, after you get it shiny, to be sure it's worth paying for.

Re: Saving a slipyoke
I usually smear axle bearing grease on it to keep it from rusting when i set driveshafts aside. on the spines too so they don't rust either.

Re: Saving a slipyoke
They also make a sleeve that is pressed onto the yoke and will make it look like brand new

Re: Saving a slipyoke
Like the ones for harmonic dampers on engines, right? I didn't know they were offered for slip yokes.
