I removed the axle hubs of my 2N in my shop press. I am replacing the original axle
seals and adding sure seals as well. After pressing a new bearing race in and the
original style axle seal I slid it over the axle shaft and noticed the seal had a loose feel
to it. I noticed then that the axle itself was worn where the seal rides. I'm thinking of
adding a Speedi Sleeve over that area to restore the axle and to asure a good seal.
Has anyone done this? The size of the axle is 2.38 in that area. Any good places to
shop from? I used a few sleeves on another project years ago but don't rember where
I got them. Just rember sticker shock. Browsing threw NAPA website it doesn't look
like they got any cheaper.
