2003 optimax 225
0T651364
Rebuilding an optimax.
I pulled the speedy sleeve off the bottom of the crank because it was worn and had grooves.
Didn't realize this part isn't sold separately. They want you to buy an entire crank just for a $5 MAINTENANCE item. (Shit like this makes me want to bad mouth companies and never buy their stuff).
Where can I get a replacement sleeve that will fit?
I do not see any 3L model that lists a replacement sleeve. Of course, I've also never needed one (ever) despite having replaced a number of seals.
Sorry- not much help on that one.

I ordered one, hopefully it will fit and I can continue on.
Good catch/info- when searching from the PART NUMBER (830882 provided above), the seals and crankshaft match up.
