JM,
So the roller bearing slides off the drive shaft, and the grease seal is right behind it. Should I just inspect the roller bearing for any wear and forget about the sleeve? I don't have any noise in the drive train, I just thought that while I am in there replacing the grease seal, why not replace the sleeve.
I dont have any leak coming from the axle grease seals, yet.
Thanks,
