Rear Hub Speedi Sleeve (sold individually)

One of the most frustrating repairs that Bugeye, Sprite or Midget (or just about any British car) owners have to make is resolving a rear hub leak. When there is a rear axle leak, the differential oil will slowly ooze out of the seal or gasket and can easily render your rear brakes ineffective. When differential oil leaks onto your rear brakes, it soaks the friction surface of the shoes and greatly reduces the functionality of your braking system. 

Over time, the machined surface that the rear hub seal rides on can become nicked or scored, making quick work of tearing up your axle seal and encouraging it to leak. For the longest time, we in the Spridget world did not have a defense against this rear hub abuse - until now. 

We have sourced a speedi sleeve, which enables the hub to receive a new smooth surface for the seal to ride on and help lessen the opportunity for leaks.

We recommend replacing the rear hub seals, gaskets and o-rings together, which you can find here!

Be sure to check your rear bearings as well!
