Wrench Size To Replace Transmission Yoke

Can anyone tell me the size wrench needed to remove and replace the drive-shaft yoke on a 2WD Getrag??

Is there anything else I should know before undertaking this??

I will need to drain the oil, yes??

I just remove the nut, slide off the old, slide on the new, and replace the nut, right??

I won't have to be concerned about getting something out of adjustment, right??

Many thanks.

I answered my own question.

Wrench size is 1-3/16", actually probably communist/metric, as the SAE was a shade loose.

I got the drive-shaft out of the way; then, I strained my guts out and loosened the nut in the center of the yoke.

The old slid off and the new slid in; no oil poured out all over me.

I put a drop of red thread-locker on two sides of the nut and tightened the living daylights out of the nut.

Mission accomplished.
