It's also known as a "speedy sleeve", pretty widely used
in the heavy truck and equipment industry. Properly installed, it is just
as good as the original seal surface. Most likely the leak is caused by
excessive wear in the shaft bearings.

Hi
Chuck,
That sleeve is called a shaft saver or
something like that, I had one on a pinion one time from a car I'm trying
to save, and basically- it's an emergncy effort that didn't work in this
case! Is there any side to side/lateral play in the arm?
Could be a worn shaft in the area of the seal, who know's- the kit may
work for you! If the box is not too loose. I think the
problem is if you try to use the same size seal with sleeve it wears it
out a little too fast outside of design parameters!
Good luck,
Bob

Subject: [FWDLK] 1955 power steering leak
Hi Everyone I have been trying to stop the leak at the
pitman arm shaft for a few years now and have installed a few
seals. This weekend I am going to try installing a new seal again
with a shim that I was told would take care of it.{ I can?t remember the
name of if it slides over the shaft and you then install the seal}
I was wondering if anyone else with this problem has had any
luck with one of these seals with this shim or is there another way to
repair this with out removing the power steering unit as this is the only
leak and the steering seems to work great.
I also have an issue with my brakes I rebuilt the booster
and master about a year and half ago and the brakes work great but when I
first press on the pedal there is a lot of play I have to pump the pedal
a little then the brakes feel and work fine. Is there air in the
line ? or is there some think else I should be checking. I
have a big car show in August in stowe Vermont and just want to take care
of these few problems first.
