the speedi sleeve is designed to cover the area of damaged seal surfaces. Your susposed to install the sleeve at the centre of the damaged area usually found by locating where the actual seal surface on the yoke is. this can be done by greasing the yoke and installing it on with the seal in place. The seal will push the grease up to where the seal lips start. Just remove the yoke and measure the distance to the grease line. Install the sleeve so that it spans the area the seal will run on. when pressed on far enough remove the flange collar and the sleeve will remain. PS you can buy the sleeve at any bearing supply store and it's probably cheaper than VPW.
