I've been reading all afternoon trying to see if anyone has had any luck with this. I know the sleeve has been suggested, building it up with J-B Weld and having it welded and turned down are also suggestions.

Has anyone had any luck with the sleeve? I'm reluctant to try the J-B Weld, it seems like a patch instead of a real fix, I don't know. I've called all over Houston trying to find someone who could weld it up and turn it down without any luck.

If all else fails I'll measure the O.D. of the axle and try to find a sleeve that will work. It is the outboard side of the shaft and the sleeve will have to go down about 3" to work. I'm not sure how I'll do that yet.


Don't pay no mind to that whirrin' sound, she uses a little oil but outsida' that she's cherry.
