Ok, I'll try it, send that DA down my way.

Twister, the only way those sleeves are comming off is with a torch. We use 638 in an indurstrial application and as a test I machined an aluminum sleeve with a 1" id and smeared some 638 on a piece of 1' round stock, put the sleeve on, and after a 24 hour cure time it took 5,000 lbs. of hydraulic pressure to take it apart. This stuff in the proper application is stronger than silver solder. You just have to make sure that your fit between the sleeve and gear legs is snug. I used a piece of 1/8" id stainless tubing 3/4" long to make mine because I happened to have it lying around the shop.
