You have to cut the tiny lip off the axle end and then drill a hole through the output on the axle so that you can use one of the cotter pins.

If you just grind or cut the little collar on the end of it, it'll bolt right on.

that's all I did. Threw the metal yoke in a vise grip, then threw it at the bench grinder for a second. Ground down that metal ring so it's flat. Look in the sticky at the top of the forum "how to build a TLT. I'm sure there's pics in there.

(taken from the ORCRC article: how to build a TLT)

You can also just remove the C- clip on the tlt's output, then slide on the whole metal yoke without cutting it. A few guys run them this way without problem. I prefer to cut it.
