If you're shopping for crush sleeves I saw several of them on Joel Ray's parts display at the PAC National, give him a call if you need one.

I can't fully agree with Troy's statement that a new crush sleeve is "required" to successfully do the job. Its been done successfully by returning the nut to it's prior position hundreds (probably thousands) of times, but only if the preload was correct to begin with. Were it mine I'd try to locate a new crush sleeve and set up the preload per the factory manual. If not and you return the nut to it's original position and you have a ring and pinion howl on acceleration or deceleration, you may well of had it before as well and then it's back to ground zero because the preload was incorrect in the first instance.
