I ended up calling it a night when my only ride home was leaving at 10, so I didn't get much more done. I've got the rear half separated now, but I left it hanging from 2 bolts to drain overnight. Luckily, I did have a 12 point 10mm socket on hand, since I did have the bolt on the top of the case that requires it. And I did end up finding out that I had a nut holding a little mount on the back side of it. Once the nut was off taking all bolts out to separate the halves was easy.
On the yoke, I tried putting 2 of the other bolts back on and I tapped on the stuck one a few good times, but no luck. I hit it with a few good coats of PB so it can soak overnight and I'm going to look through the tools I have around my house to see if I've got any 6 point wrenches instead of the 12's I've been trying to use.
I'm now wondering about the yoke removal, though. Is the yoke nut the same size as the one that comes with the PORC kit (28mm is what I picked up for that, tightest fit out of the 1/2 drive sockets I was looking at). I've also got a 1-3/16ths I picked up for the drain and filler bolts. Is the front yoke going to take a different size? It looks to me like I'll also need an extension so I can have the breaker bar on the front side of the crossmember, in which case I'll have to pick one up.
When I get around to putting in the drive shafts (hopefully tomorrow after the case is all set...) is it ok to reuse the bolts that hold the rear ujoint straps? I've got new straps which I hope will fit, but the bolts that came with them are much larger than the old ones. I think I actually might be able to use the new ones to bolt up the flange end of the dshaft (They look to be the same size as the ones for the flange of the stock front dshaft. I haven't tried threading them in yet. They have a larger head, though, so I'll also have to check if I'll have clearance in the new output yoke.) Now that I think about it, my front shaft has bolts that go through the output yolk and thread into part of the shaft, clamping on the ujoint. I don't remember there being a flange on the new front shaft I had new yolks put in to use as my rear shaft. I'll have to double check that in the morning.
