Anyone used Speedy Sleeve on worn shaft?

[Supraholic]

The front flange on my 87T LSD differential was leaking with a new seal. I found some scoring on the shaft where the seal lips ride. someone told me about speedy sleeves that can be used to on the shaft surface where the seal meets the shaft.. have anyone used one like this? or can this flange shaft be saved in any other way?

thanks

i have used speedy sleaves on my brothers 1967 kenworth (lots of worn shafts) seems todo the trick but its better to replace it (i think you will find that some hi-lux diffs have exactly the same part! )

We use sleeves like this at work, to repair gouged shafting. However we turn down the original shaft on a lathe first, and then use heat/cryogenic freezing to install it, so it may not be in the same ball park.

Works great though.

yeah. shawn, you're definetely thinking of the ball park idea.
the only real difference being that they're almost totally different. lol
speedy sleeve way is a hack to get it up and running again
your way is, like... the right way. lol
