well made a punch out of some 4340 to beat the spindle sleeve out. as you see it took some beating. had to use a propane torch to get it to move past 3/4 inch out. there wound up being a couple patch of rust in there. the sleeves are different though. one has a hole in it and one does not. i dont know why there would be a grease hole as the sleeve locks on the bolt and rotates as an assembly in the axle correct? i still need to clean the bore on the axle so the sleeve will slide in and out. so i have seen many fenders with the 2nd set of holes. looks like it is for the reflector only mounting.
