So, just like many of you out there, i too am going from an internal slave to an external on a 91 AX-15.
I have all the parts and i am about done with the work when my friend brings his 98 Jeep Wrangler over to add a Long Arm Kit.
He removes his AX-15 and i its external as well. So i look at it, to make sure that i am doing mine correctly and notice something. He has a metal sleeve that covers his output shaft that the bearing rides on. Mine is void of this sleeve?
So i go to the dealer and i can get one for $200+, its the plate and sleeve together and fill fit right in. Without it, the bearing seems very loose. With the sleeve, it seems tight.
I read MANY older posts about the swap, but no one addresses this problem?
Any ideas on this? Do i need to buy the sleeve? Can i go external without this sleeve? Anyone's knowledge would be GREAT.
