Detailed Description

SKF Speedi-Sleeve 99078 is engineered to refinish worn shafts quickly by creating a smooth outer sealing surface where the original metal has been damaged. Instead of regrinding or replacing the shaft, this sleeve covers the worn area and restores the sealing track for the timing cover or related oil seal. The 0.787-inch shaft diameter specification is the key measurement for correct application selection.

This part cross-references 145899078 and 975999078 for the same application. It is listed for 1968-1970 Toyota Corolla, 1976-1980 Subaru Standard, 1977-1979 Porsche 924, 1985-2001 Mitsubishi, Pontiac, Dodge, Nissan, Volkswagen, Geo, Honda, Plymouth, and Toyota applications where the matching shaft size is required.

Installation Notes
