    I spoke with the company the prior owner knows and they suggested a sleeve as they said it was easy for anyone to repair if I was traveling somewhere. They said they could do the build up too but it was determined a lathe with a 24" swing would be needed to mill this down. They have such a lathe and can do both. I am supposed to take them tomorrow. I was curious how they got the sleeve over the top of the post where it is the stock size. The man told me they heat them in an oven and they expand to make this possible.

    A lot of times they will freeze the part and heat the sleeve when both equalize temps it becomes a press fit.
