Speedi / Redi Sleeve for Rear Small Bearing 28-spline Shaft

[dsenatore]

So, I got a nick in one of my rear axle shafts on my '66. I can't find any definitive info or part number for this application. Took the shaft to napa and they couldn't help either. Does anyone know of the part number for a sleeve for this application? The micrometer reading I got on that surface was 1.366" and the speedi sleeve 99149 specs are:

Shaft diameter, minimum	1.497 in
Shaft diameter, maximum	1.503 in

The nick is too long to try and use the double seal trick etc...
Thank you,
David

Bummer...and that is why I score and then chisel off my axle retainers. I think you're going to need/want a new/used axle.

In reviewing the SKF Speedi-Sleeve catalog, there's a distinct lack of products in that particular size. They have Ø34mm [Ø1.339"], and then it jumps up to Ø1.375 [Ø34.93"], with nothing in between.

I was scoring and chiseling and the grinder jumped on me. Oh well, I think you're right in your assessment as far as a replacement axle. I appreciate your reply and looking into the speedi sleeve offerings. Have a great weekend!

An old timer showed me to center punch the retainer then drill half way through it with a drill bit the same width as the retainer. The hit it at the drill spot with a chisel. They pop as in split every time and just slip right off.
