Hey im instaling new 3.73 gears and i have a mostly complete rear end bearing kit..All i need is the Crush Sleeve, Does anybody know where i can pick up just the crush sleeve without having to buy a whole kit?
I did buy them new but im not sure if it came with them...I* gotta find out if i still have them,If i do then it would be 120 shipped. Im sorry dude i cant go any lower.
Dont chuck the old one...If its your first time you may over TQ it...its then spent...I crushed my 1st one to far.....I was screwed, so I threw the original back in...the preload is just a tad more if I remember correctly....That same collar has seen 3 sets of FRPP gears and 22k...still just as quiet as ever...
Like I say...just in case things go South...
FWIW.....I have seen more than a few write-up were the stock collar is re-used...It makes it way easier as you just have sneak up on the mother and get the inch reading...you dont have to crush it...
Did the same thing with my original crush sleeve. Just reused it since I couldn't crush the new one with the tools I had. It's been over a year and no noise or other problems at all.
why don't you use a solid spacer. Summit p/n RAT-4105 $16.39 It is reusable and there is one TQ setting (125 ftlbs) so you don't have to play games with breakaway force and the chance of cruching the sleeve to much.
