Someone suggested that I look into just fixing it with a
Speedi-Sleeve. Anyone have experience with that? I'm mostly worried
that with that 1/10 inch wear whateverhad worn that down would just
wear down the sleeve or beat it out of round.

Where did that 1/10 inch GO? A seal spring couldn't wear out the shaft
that much. Of course, it could be some old wear that has nothing to do
with the current problem.
