If you sitting on the side of the Interstate in the dark, that $5 difference disappears quickly.

And as a bonus, you get to keep the old ones as spares for that long trip.

Where can I buy a repair sleeve to repair a groove the grease seal has worn into the axle?

Find you one like Double Lip Grease Seal - 1.25" I.D. - 1.98" O.D. Markings: 12192 - Trailer Grease Seals - Grease Seals - Hubs, Drums, Bearings, & Parts - Products They have a double lip which should straddle the groove. Your only other reasonable option is to replace the spindle. BTW, this is just an example.

Some parts stores have a speedy sleeve repair kit....thin sleeve to go on spindle with a tool to put it on with and a seal to fit.

Some parts houses have those speedy sleeves and most any good bearing store will have them and as G said the seal to match. Also when you get one before installing, clean that grove area real good with some starting fluid and put you a thin coat of silicone on the grove, then install speedy sleeve. That reduces any chance of grease leaking between sleeve and axle. Most sleeves today have a flared flange to use to drive on. Then yo tear off that flare. If it's made like that take some sand paper or crocks cloth to smooth off the rough edge so seal isn't cut while installing.

Those sleeve kits are new to me. Do they work good and I assume they would have to be very thin so do they hold up?

I have used them on all kinds of equipment for over 40 years...they work ok

Like G said I used them since the 70's on big truck axles. You don't just run out and buy a new axle for one of them or a trailer. If not mistaken think CR came out with them about 77-78. In my applications I figured they were good for about 100,000 miles. Pretty easy to change them out just use a small ball peen hammer and lightly tap from front to back and it will stretch and sled right off then just put on a new one. Have repaired some severely damaged axles with them.
