Scott,
Go to another parts store, preferably one that caters to the heavy
equipment/truck folks, and tell them you want a "Speedy Sleeve"(same thing,
different brand) it will come with the installation tool with it in the
box(nothing to it, looks like a little tin cup).Just tell them the diameter
of the shaft and they can fix you right up.We use them routinely at work,
every time we replace a pinion or crankshaft damper seal, nothing beats a
fresh new seal surface for keeping oil where it belongs.
