What if Home Depot focused on making their Hardware store better before branching out and ruining another industry?

A vendor through home depot. They are trying to make their online store a market place like Amazon.

These threadlocker products are anaerobic cure, as soon as you tighten the threads, slide a sleeve on or stuff a bushing, oxygen is excluded and the liquid quickly starts to harden. That's why when you use them on threads, you need to come right up to final torque and leave it alone, because it's starting to cure before you even move the wrench away and if you reposition anything you're just breaking the adhesion and not getting the full holding strength.

The surface activator is by no means "required", their own literature says so. The PDS says it's mainly a "basic copper salt", so it's likely similar to a soldering flux, it reacts to draw out and neutralise impurities, cleaning the surfaces to allow deeper adhesion of the product. If it enhances cure rate it's probably due to neutralisation of impurities that would otherwise mix with the adhesive. Judging by the warnings about oxygen reactability, I would guess it works the opposite of the adhesive, that it's activated by oxygen, that's why it's a spray.

Does anyone have the part number for the speedi sleeve that works on the flywheel?

[Westaru]

Loctite or Permatex sleeve retainer is the correct compound to use with a speedi sleeve:

Be sure to buy the anaerobic activator compound as well (it is required):

Loctite should work fine. maybe i'd even use red. i used Loctite as a sealer for brass threaded fittings on espresso machines that would weep under hot water/steam. worked great, no drips.

DanHoug,
Thanks for posting this, and tencent, thanks for the link.

Any harm in using loctite as a sealer when installing? I looked up Curtil K2 and a tube is $20 and I'd probably never use it again.

I confirmed with the guy who built my transaxle that 091 CV cups are the same as 091/1 in case anyone else needs that info.

The "value" of the sleeve is what it provides, not the simplicity of the design or cost of manufacturing.

You buy a drill because you want a hole.

standard seal. but you can feel the edge of the sleeve sorta catch on the seal and it requires a good push to insert. but Speedi Sleeves are all thin enough to use the standard seal.

Does the standard seal get used still, or is the ID of the seal ordered smaller to compensate for the sleeve?

Thanks guys. Last time I went looking the prices were in the over-$30 range, actually that's well below list, and I'm not a cheap bastard, but it seems a lot to pay for what it is, especially since I need two. Luckily all the manufacturers use the same p/n on these so it's easy to search. I just found them on ebay, SKF brand, for $21.70 ea., plus $10 shipping. Ordered up. Here's the link if anyone's looking.

I've done this before on drive flanges with good success. The brand I've used is Shaft-Eze by Dichtomatik. The local bearing supply company had them on hand and for the time it saved they didn't seem crazy expensive. Maybe at most $15-20 each. I'm not sure where I put the part number for the ones that fit the drive flanges... You can always figure it by measure.

I ordered the last pair from rock auto; if that helps

I need to do these. I've looked around and the sleeves are hella expensive. Dan, did you find a source for them with decent prices?
