2602-171 – Flange Yokes – 7260 Series – Bolt Circle Dia 3.500″ – Bolt Hole Dia 0.409

The 2602-171 Flange Yoke is a critical component designed for 7260 Series applications, providing a robust connection between the driveshaft and the powertrain or axle assembly. With a bolt circle diameter of 3.500 inches and a bolt hole diameter of 0.409 inches, this yoke ensures precise alignment and secure fastening. The pilot diameter measures 1.772 inches, allowing for a snug fit that minimizes play and enhances torque transfer efficiency.

One of the distinguishing features of the 2602-171 is its compatibility with 7260 Series U-joints, which dictate the cap diameter and cross width. Using a yoke that does not match these specifications can lead to improper fitment and potential failure. For instance, a yoke from a different series may have a different cap diameter, preventing the correct U-joint from being installed.

When installing the 2602-171, keep these tips in mind:

• Verify the spline engagement depth to ensure proper fit.
• Check the phasing with the opposite yoke to avoid vibrations.
• Do not force spline entry; it should slide in smoothly.
• Ensure that all bolt holes are aligned correctly before tightening.

Overall, the 2602-171 Flange Yoke is engineered for reliability and performance, making it an essential choice for any technician working with 7260 Series driveline components.
