200-4R yoke stuck on output shaft ??

[CreepinDeth]

Got everything out of my 200-4R except the part that needs the special Low/Reverse clutch tool. The last part I got out was the sun gear shell and sun gear. Basically I'm at Row C all the way to the right of this diagram. http://www.bulkpart.com/Merchant2/graphics/Catalog-pdf/200-4R.pdf

I have a yoke attached to my rear shaft, and I can't get it off.
Did I miss something or shouldn't the yoke just come off the output shaft at any point in time ??
The shaft moves but is locking up against something too.....thought it would fall out at this point in the dis-assembly.

I can't use the special tool until I can get this shaft out of my way.
What am I possibly facing here as far as the reason ??

Also besides having to buy this Low / Reverse tool for $99 for one time use,
what have you guys done to remove this part without buying this tool ??

Splines in Yoke or on Output Shaft may be twisted. Will require a good yank/jerk to get it off.

THANKS!!!!!
I Just sent them a message to see if they have anymore available.

BTW you were right, I just jerked on it REAL hard and the damn yoke came off....lmao.
I wasn't sure if I could yank real hard without hurting anything inside. Doh......

Maybe you'll luck out & they'll have more, they've sold 25 already.
I have the Kent Moore tool, it works well also but, is slightly more fragile as it's made of Composite/Plastic material.
