Re: Dexter 9000lb Axle Question

Measure the O.D. accurately and get a Speedi-Sleeve, they are made for just your problem, it's a real common repair and they come in most any diameter. Before you install it, take note exactly where the seal lip rides on the spindle, then center the sleeve right over that area. Also smear a little non-hardening Aviation Permatex (the brown stuff, but now they have a new name for it, parts man will know) on the spindle surface where the Speedi-Sleeve will go.

Then a seal with a larger ID is used.

[/ QUOTE ] No, you still use the standard dia. seal. Since you won't have access to a driver, heat the sleeve in boiling water to expand it, then with gloves, be quick and skillful and you should have no problem. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]
