[Spits] Rear Outer dive shafts ( half shafts in UK speak)

[Doug Braun]

Ted Schumacher once told me that the pin can be
removed and the yoke can be pressed off and a new one
pressed on.  But I have never heard of the yokes being
sleeved or otherwise repaired.  I think there are
enough used ones out there to make it uneconomical.
