crush sleeve problem solved Posted by Cmyles [Email] (#1126) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Cmyles) on Sun, 25 Nov 2012 10:25:36 In Reply to: Re: 2nd that early crush sleeves, Roger D [Profile/Gallery] , Sun, 25 Nov 2012 09:45:52 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I have re-used crush sleeves in several units now with excellent long term results. Put the used sleeve on a horizontal mandrel (I use a wrecked pinion shaft clamped in a vise) and hammer the raised part with a 16 oz. ball-peen hammer as you roll the sleeve around the shaft. Measure it before you start and get it to widen about 0.015". I can do that in about five minutes and get it even to within 0.002" easily (I can get it closer, don't see the point). Works for both early and late sleeves just fine. Of course if Matt wants to have some new ones made I too will buy them.
