Heat the sleeve with a gas bottle unit until it is cherry red.
Once heated, the sleeve will drop off.
Allow the half shaft to cool.
Clean the journal (where the sleeve fits) using emery cloth.
Heat the new sleeve evenly to a dark straw colour.
Tip: Place the sleeve on a heavy steel plate (approx. 3/8" / 10 mm thick) and heat the plate from underneath with the gas bottle. This helps achieve a more uniform heat distribution.
Stand the half shaft upright on the floor.
Drop the heated sleeve over the shaft — it should fall into place.
Allow it to cool naturally; the sleeve will shrink and grip the shaft securely.
