May be beating on a dead horse about this but dose anyone know where to get worm gear yokes rather than having to buy complete trucks,or are the new trucks improved in this area that they are the way to go? I have several GP 30s and 35s and so far I have 2 with slipping yokes,OR is there a fix????
First, I don't think anyone wants to get a "dose". :)
Second, what do you mean by a worm gear "Yoke"?

A simple solution is to check the Parts department. There is a page for this or a phone call.
To rogertra,I guess spell ck doesn't work either and the yoke is the part of the drive line that fits on the worm gear shaft that the drive shaft fits into... To richg,I've tried the parts dept.and was told to go to the parts page and there is the problem,they don't break down the drive trucks,and other than needing several yokes(as described above) my trucks are inn good working order. So any help is appreciated.
Then it must be obvious, you have to buy the complete truck. You might find stuff on ebay.

With yoke off superglue. You can also re-enforce with small wire around the outside and superglue. Then when you press back on Superglue to shaft.

Clean all parts with alcohol first. Then super glue. There are some different consistencies of super glue. Almost like water and up to gel consistency.
Sometimes a five minute epoxy can work. Take your time.
