Reusing rear axel sleeve
« on: August 21, 2018, 11:12:09 »
Can the right axel sleeve be reused if it was removed without damage to sleeve?

I guess you're talking of the sleeve with all the rolls on it. Yes, you can reuse it if it is not damaged. You need to inspect it very closely for cracks.

The rubber boot the goes between the right tube and the main body?  You can but if it rips in 6 months you will be pulling it all back apart for $60.

I have checked it out carefully and am surprised by how good condition it is in. I have a new split sleeve as a back up.
