Default nitro axle sleeves

looking to install the nitro weldless axle sleeves. was wondering if there are any seals that work with these. and by the way are those plastic things the factories way of keeping sh#t out of the axles? i have atleast a 1/4 inch gap so i tried to slide it back and the damn thing crumpled.

any ideas or opinions?

X2 on this! Helped my buddy install these recently and I can attest to all the hitting involved. We used a bearing race driver set and broke one of the adaptors.. Flipped it over and used the larger side. He hit while I held them with pliers..
Also make sure u freeze the sleeves for a few days to shrink them. Also clean up the ends of the axle tubes so there smooth before u hit the sleeves in.

Anybody have a set waiting to be installed? I am looking for some dimensions to make my own. Looking for length of each side as well as the actual OD since they have been turned down some.
