Yoke straightening fixture

Abstract

A yoke straightening fixture adapted to engage the ears of a yoke shaft which is in turn attached to an axle shaft. The fixture has a longitudinal extending central bore to facilitate an aligned rotatable connection to a connecting member of a straightening device. The fixture comprises a pair of opposing recesses configured to receive and retain opposite ears of the yoke which is in turn attached to the shaft to be straightened. The opposing recesses are dimensioned to align the shaft with the fixture and consequently align the shaft with the straightening device. Two pairs of opposing recesses may be employed in a single fixture to facilitate connection to different size yokes. A front projection member is also formed to penetrate the yoke. The projection member is dimensioned to snugly fit between the ears of the yoke to form a positive aligned connection between the shaft and straightening device.
