Fitting instructions
To remove the old sleeve from the axle, heat the sleeve with the gas bottles until cherry red and it will drop off.
Then allow the half shaft to cool and clean the journal where the sleeve fits with an emery cloth.
When fitting the new sleeve, it is important to heat it uniformly until it reaches a dark straw colour. One helpful tip is to place the sleeve on a steel plate and heat the plate from below using gas bottles. This method helps ensure more even heat distribution across the entire sleeve.
Stand the half shaft on the floor and drop the heated sleeve over the shaft, it should fall into place and then cool and shrink to the shaft.
The following gaskets are used when replacing the rear axle sleeve. These can be ordered separately.
