First off I would like to say the thing is a beast. But...

It will not fit over a 1410 Yoke. The person I spoke to over the phone says I have to pull the yoke to install it. Which means replace the crush sleeve and recheck the backlash. All that to just install a pinion guard. :haha: What a joke!
Guess I will just have to grind the crap out of it and make it fit. :dunno: Just would have thought that they would have made it fit over it the 1410 like DIY4X's and Blue Torch's. That or at least mention it in the description. :confused:

Not trying to bash them just a little pissed off, Everything I have bought from them has always been top notch. :waytogo:
 
dont need to reset backlash.

and if you know the trick it dont need new crush sleave.

also it will fit over a 1410 just not past the dust cover for the seal.

only problem i had was the arb air line was super close to there cover for the dana 60 front . if thay added 1/4" more hight to the cover hight going to the non ring gear side then no problems.

There is no way it will fit over the yoke. Not running a dust cover so that's not a problem. The hole is simpley to small to fit.
 
just cut the top off, install it, then reweld the top back on...

Counting threads and giving it a quarter turn more isnt technically acceptable practice for a crush collar :whistle:
 
my BTF pinion gaurd didn't fit over my 1410 yoke either. I just torched a notch into the plate so it would slip over and bolted it on and forgot about it.

its not 1/4 turn. its just past by the thickness of the 2 chissle marks 1 on the nut and 1 on the pinion.

but on a 14ff you need a press to pop the yoke off anyway or a good puller. :whistle:
 
Make a cut at about 10 & 2. Between bolt holes. It should slide up behind. Then put top piece in and tighten up those longer bolts I am sure you already bought. :)

Yeah after looking at it more that looks like that will works. And yes already got the longer bolts.
 
It does sound like a design change is needed, I will look into it. I did not want the top open to take away from the strength of the full circle but a couple of notches makes sense...

either way its a shovel :whistle::haha:

Its a shovel if you try and run it with a flat pinion...Not if you rotate your pinion like you should with lift...If you leave the pinion flat with the DS shooting up in the air its a shovel but if thats the way you're set up you need to change some other things before you need one of these ;)
