hack n tap question

i am in the middle of a hack n tap install... sort of. i bought a tcase that already has a hack n tap style SYE installed in it. i am trying to put a front driveshaft in the rear, but i didnt do my homework and it looks like i need a different spicer flange to be able to use it in the rear with this style SYE.

so my question is this:
Can I use the front output yoke of the old tcase in place of the flat hack n tap flange that is on the back of the tcase? i believe it is a RE setup, and its a 231 tcase if that matters.

help! in the middle of the job with the jeep all torn apart, it got towed here and needs to drive under its own power at the end of the day. :rattle:

nevermind, tried it and the shaft for the front output is smaller, no way it will fit on the rear output.

back to square 1

Go find someone else's t-case to take it out of, or swap on a flange to the d-shaft that will bolt up?

I think this is the flange you need. Also think I heard NAPA usually carries them.

Yes, that's the flange. Local drive shaft shop should have it in stock. NAPA used to carry them but I believe last I heard they no longer do. Not 100% sure on that though. Should run you $50-60 locally.

Yeah did this about 3 months ago called NAPA and just about every other auto part store and 4wd shop they all didn't carry it but I went to a drive shaft shop and they had it in stock.

x2 on the drivelive shop. i got mine at a local driveshaft place that had it in stock

Here's where I got mine, cheapest price I've found yet.
