crush sleeves can sometimes take a LOT, but I'd figure your 'all' is probably the 500+ they sometimes need. hmm.

Meh, I just reused my old crush sleeve. Torqued it to "good and tight". It's been fine? But not a lot of miles yet. Nick's didn't even have a crush sleeve!
Has the sleeve crushed down at all?

nope, seems i haven't even pressed the rear bearing on the shaft yet. need to check the new bearing diameter and then get a longer cheater bar.
