2602-251 – Flange Yokes – 7260 Series – Bolt Circle Dia 3.925″ – Bolt Hole Dia 0.410

When working with the 2602-251 Flange Yoke, it’s essential to ensure a proper fit for optimal performance. This yoke connects the driveshaft to the transmission, transfer case, or differential, making it a critical component in your driveline setup. With a 7260 Series designation, it’s designed to interface seamlessly with compatible U-joints, ensuring smooth power transfer.

Before installation, check the following specifications: Bolt Circle Dia of 3.925 inches, Bolt Hole Dia of 0.410 inches, and a Pilot Dia of 2.250 inches. These dimensions are crucial for ensuring that the yoke mates correctly with the companion flange or the driveshaft tubing. The Cj to Flat measurement of 1.575 inches also plays a role in alignment, so be sure to verify this before tightening any bolts.

• Confirm the spline engagement depth before sliding the yoke onto the shaft.
• Ensure the yoke is phased correctly with the opposite yoke to prevent vibrations.
• Use a torque wrench to tighten bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications for a secure fit.
• Inspect all mating surfaces for wear or damage before installation.

Common mistakes include mismatching the spline count or failing to check the phasing, which can lead to driveline vibrations or premature wear. By paying attention to these details, you can ensure that the 2602-251 Flange Yoke performs reliably in your application.
