1. Your measurements of the snap ring grooves are wrong. Inside to inside is irrelevant. Measure outside to outside and add the snap ring thickness to the u-joint width to find the dimension. This is ... |

Are you sure that it is a 2 piece sleeve? I am not so sure that someone did not just put a short sleeve in instead of going all the way to the bottom. Irregardless, the block should be able to be salv ... |
