Here's where I found out that my old sleeve (original or otherwise) was NOT in good condition. It snapped in half when I squeezed it in the vice. Fortunately I had another original (as well as a new repro) on hand, otherwise I'd been delayed a bit till I could get another one.
BTW -- Download Tom Endy's instructions for rebuilding the rear end. It was an invaluable reference when I was doing my torque tube work.
