John, if you fit the nut on with a washer when the sleeve is cooling it will stop the sleeve backing up the shaft and leaving the joint visible. I am retired now but used to do this type of repair on a far bigger scale on marine propulsion equipment. The larger diameter the greater the back off when the sleeve cools. You’re right, if you don’t have the hammer ready the job knows it and it sticks. Great videos, the machining and the accent takes me back to work in the shipyards in the North East.
Dear John, I concur, very satisfying shrink fitting anything into place. Got it by the bollocks sums up the security of a perfect fit. Great stuff as usual.
Great job John nice repair the hats ok when it gets a bit of soluble oil ,grease it’ll be fine hats are great for picking the odd hot object up when you don’t have a glove 😂👍🇬🇧
Very nice repair on the shaft John, exactly how I would have done it. I like the bending brake with the hand brake fitted, innovative use of what's available. I also like the new hat. Give it a chance. Best wishes, Dean.
G'day John. Very nice job making & fitting the bush, should go for many years. Always liked watching the plasma cutter. Well done, catch you on the next venture
I have my nightcap in hand and a steaming cup of hot chocolate and your video to ease me into the land of slumber, so that I may awake to face the week ahead
If you can't fight, you should wear a hat like that one! 🎩 If you're going to keep wearing it john, don't be surprised if people start calling you Andy? 😁
Rubber, it does wear steel given long enough running. You actually get thin wall stainless steel sleeves that you press over the shaft to give a new wear face, which slightly increases shaft diameter there. Used in industry where fixing the shaft means a lot of work, and the expensive sleeve is both fast and cheaper.
It is the heat generated in a microscopically small area that causes the shaft to wear, like string rubbing across wood even though the string is softer it will eventually make a groove. Speedi Sleeves is the product you refer to, I doubt if they would be cost effective and they are not always suitable. Speedi Sleeves can’t handle scratches running along the shaft or high shaft wear as the liquid will run under the Speedi Sleeve. Speedi Sleeves are great for in-situ repairs, as the sleeve can be hammered over the shaft without dismantling the equipment. I have also seen Speedy Sleeves fitted from new on equipment where it is known that the seals will wear or harder seal material is required than the shaft would cope with.
“It doesn’t need to be welded but I want to make a proper job of it”
This is the thought process that usually leads me to warping stuff.

"Thats got her by the bollocks" 😂😂😂
You're right about the socket and hammer, the bastard thing will always test you...
Lovely repair John. I have been changing these for years ,might try repairing the next one .

The Cap needs a Dropkick Murphys Patch.

I'm sure the hat will look fine once it's got a bit of patina on it 😂
It’s 2024 John. The new hat looks good 👍. It’ll look even better when it’s worn in a bit 🙂.
Hats a bit to posh, need a Fred dibner style and some seasoning lol, nice job John
Great fun, John. I hope you're into some civilized spring weather.
The hat's not covered in oil and grease, so it isn't seasoned properly yet. 😊
Two good rides on a Sentinal should do the trick.
It looks more Sunday best. 😉

Enjoying the engineering solutions you keep coming up with John.
Nice sleeve repair.
Going to start sending you weekly reminders until you buy a new brush 😂. Excellent work as always John 😉
The hat makes you look like a "Gentleman" John. Na not for you Bonnie Lad.
Hat's alright John.
That hat makes you look like a Peaky Blinder John
Peaky wears a News Boy Hat, not a Scally Cap.
Thanks John
You look good with the new hat. Always enjoy, thanks for your time.
If you can't fight, you should wear a hat like that one! 🎩
If you're going to keep wearing it john, don't be surprised if people start calling you Andy? 😁
Great repair. Nice hat.
I thought the cap was rather dandy. When you came on I thought you had treated yourself.
John you'll grow into it👍
Eyup Andy Cap
Good work on the water pump. I have no opinion on the hat.
as per brill
The cap needs to develop its own patina; that will take time, only time!
BTW, is the break handle on the break from a Mini, by any chance?
It is indeed from a mini .
Hat needs a bit of living in but it's fine m8
You’ll grow into the hat.
If the cap is put to a vote, put me down for a “rather not”.
If the seal wore the groove on the shaft what was the seal made of?

Keep the old hat
Keep the old hat for best.
