I had two pretty significant grooves on my Right Axle Seal. Axle Seal got totally trashed and wires on inside of axle seal , it's like razor wire buried in the plastic wore tow grooves around the end of the axle. There was a major, major axle leak there that needed to be attended to. Speedi Sleeve got ordered from Amazon and was ere I n2 days. About $35 with free shipping. I cogitated about install but it could not have been easier. I did need to get a piece of plastic pipe coupler to complete the Speedi Sleeve Install as the threaded axle end is too long for the Install Tool. Instructios said get a piece of pipe from Hardware store. Pipe wasn't pipe enough but a plastic coupler was absolutely perfect. It went over the threaded axle and I was able to insert the install tool in the end of the plastic coupler. The plastic coupler end fit against the Speedi Sleeve Lip and with a few taps of my rubber mallet it seated itself right on the edge. I used my Dremel with a cutting blade to carefully slice into the installation lip and with pressure from a big pair of pliers was able to tear the metal right to the perforated machined edge and then with a pair of needle nose pliers roller the installation edge right up like opening a metal can. All of course while sitting astride the rear end perched on top of a pair of Jack Stands. The perforated edge separated cleanly and I have a hard time feeling the lip of the Speedi Sleeve. This is one slick solution for solving axle leaks. A few Pics

Speedi Sleeve Edge wound up like a can opener, Extra Coupler needed to extend the Installation Can. The finished product no burrs, no sanding needed.
