Sta-Rite C23-58 Shaft Sleeve
The Sta-Rite C23-58 is a replacement shaft sleeve for Sta-Rite Dyna-Glas/Dyna-Max Series in-ground pool and spa pumps. It slides over the motor shaft where the mechanical seal rides, giving the seal a smooth, replaceable wear surface instead of letting the seal ride directly on the shaft itself.
Replacing the sleeve along with the seal is common practice, since a shaft that has been running against a worn or grooved sleeve will chew through a brand-new seal in a fraction of its normal life. Inspect the shaft itself for wear once the old sleeve is off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the shaft itself wear if the sleeve is bad?
The sleeve exists specifically to protect the shaft from that wear, but a badly neglected sleeve can eventually let wear reach the shaft, which is a more expensive repair.
Q: Do I need to replace the sleeve every time I replace the seal?
Not always, but inspect it closely. A grooved or scored sleeve will wear out a new seal quickly, so replacing both together is common practice.
Q: How do I know if the sleeve is worn?
Run a fingernail across the surface where the seal rides; a groove you can feel, or visible scoring, means it should be replaced.
