Also the replacement sleeves can be a potential problem. Case in point, there were some sleeves on the market a few years ago, TR IRS rear hub application, that were rolled from flat stock and had a super-hard weld joining the butt ends, pretty much impossible to get a good crush on.
FWIW I usually convert the late diffs to a conventional spacer & shims. I can post details if you want.
Are you just replacing the seal with the diff in the car?
