[QUOTE="flyerdan, post: 111492, member: 2510"] Yeah, that sounds like it will need about a sixteenth skimmed off. Small job, you might check with nextdoor or any facebook group for your local town and see if anyone has a home lathe that would be willing to do it. A lot of times retired guys will do little projects just to stay in the game. Failing that, you could find a machine shop, either through the yellow pages or suggestions from auto parts stores or the Harley shop. Back in the day lots of machine shops had an old Clausing set up in a corner for walk ins so they could do those couple minute jobs without tearing down a current job setup. At any rate, whoever turns it will need the sleeve as well to get the inside dimension even if they won't install it - it needs to be about .0001" bigger than the inside so it will grip. Fortunately, I have a lathe in the shop, I'd just get the measurement, skim it, put the axle in the freezer for a while and clean the sleeve real good and heat it up in the chip cooker just before installing. It should drop right on and shrink tight, just like installing a ring gear. Glad yours was an easier fix, I guess the above would serve as a guide for those not quite as lucky. [/QUOTE]
