Here you go.I used 2x2 square tube with 3/16 wall,added a 1" square plate on one end,on the other end took a 1/2x2-1/2 bolt welded to a small then attached to the end of tube,attach bearing driver with wide end facing axle,then stack some washer that are the same size as the ID of the sleeve(a spacer would work too)i used a nylock nut to hold it together,The handles were some 1/2 round bar.Make sure you wear gloves during driving in the sleeves.We used a 20lb hammer to drive in the sleeves makes for quick work

IS there any other parts needed for the install of these nitro sleeves? gaskets? seals? etc? i am getting ready to order a set for 12 rubi and i want to make sure i get all the parts needed for the install. I plan on doing the c-gussets and skid plates for the lower control arms also. Thanks
