I received my parts from Auto Ricambi. Thanks for the in stock supply and quick shipping!
I got around to installing the bearing pillow block, and yoke to the front drive shaft sections. I drove the bearing, washers, and yoke on with a socket and a hammer until I couldn't feel them move any further. It is impossible to see if the parts are fully seated or not. I believe they are.
There is about 6mm of yoke that is extended out beyond the end of the spline. I didn't notice this during the dismantle. Is this typical? Anyone else encounter this?
Looking for verification before proceeding any further.
Thanks,
Warren

Clips look seated just fine, but the nut on and tighten it up....

What he said.
Be sure the pillow block is oriented the same way as the one that came off.
