go to your local chevrolet dealership and check with the parts dept. tell them what you are looking for and they will give you the factory gm part# to the tool and they may have in stock. this is the best way to get the proper tool. parts stores sometimes are not the most knowledgeable on there spaciality tools they can get unless you can speak to someone who has been there awhile. good luck happy wrenching
You can carefully remove the old sleeve, careful not to damage the surface underneath, inspect and assess the damage underneath. Possibly it can be repaired properly with medium then fine emery cloth polishing the surface. If there is a groove deep enough that your thumbnail catches on it, you might need to install a new sleeve. Research the brands and install the thinnest one possible. You may also be able to drive the seal in deeper or shallower to locate it in a different position on the spindle. It would only need 1/8 to 3/16" difference. Please post your results, hope this helps. -Jeremy
