I lost my dad last August and now have my mom living with us and taking care of her is a full time job. I feel your pain and glad your life is starting to even out some. Thanks for sharing. 🍻
Maybe I'm not understanding something... It's called a crush sleeve because it needs to get crushed. If you're not crushing it and torquing it down, your pinion is gonna be sloppy and loose.
I have one and you need to get on the fitting perfectly or you just make a mess. Found I have better luck with a needle tip and just jam it in the zirc.
