Speedi sleeve

In the farmall forum I posted of the front main seal on a farmall B. I received great advice from several guys. I however installed a speedi sleeve on the
main pulley without placing silicone on the sleeve or pulley and then put it back on the main shaft. Would y'all leave it on the shaft without worrying
about a leak or pull it off and try to remove the sleeve and add silicone? Thinking the sleeve may be hard to remove without damaging the sleeve or
even the pulley shaft. Thought I may remove the pulley and add silicone to both ends of the sleeve without pulling it off the pulley shaft. I would like to
hear y'alls thoughts and advice. I'm a novice with a lot to learn. Thanks for any advice.
 
If you had the shaft really clean/polished I would leave it. I have never been able to remove one with out destroying it. They are thin and made to stretch to fit the shaft they are put on, so to speak.

Also silicone is not the best thing to put under a sleeve. I either use Loctite or an Aerobic sealer. Silicone can actually act like a lubricant and allow the sleeve to move.
 
you did good! no silicone! if anything could use blue Loctite . speedy sleeves are a one time installation. to get them off you use a cold chisel and hit it long ways to expand it. it is then junk. I always pack the seal lip with grease though.
