A833OD with worn output spline

Based on my experience so far, I would prefer your situation in that the yoke needs to be tapped lightly to get it on the spline. An interference fit is going to cause issues, but due to the fact that there is usual a little roughness on the splines on a fresh yoke, combined with the fact that you have the shaft out, making it easier to work with, I would consider putting the shaft in a vise, and gently tapping the yoke back and forth on it until it wears the roughness off the spline. I am wondering if you could use some lapping compound to ease the process. It may seem extreme, but a snug fit on that yoke will make for happy cruising, particularly if you plan on putting steep rear gears in it.
