Bob,
I am having the same trouble.
Where on the axle does the sleeve go?

 On my 235 I was unable to prevent the inner race of
the wheel bearings from
 rotating on the axle, even with what seemed to be an
extreme amount of
 preload. This occurred on both the mains and the nose
wheel, and caused deep
 wear in the GM31 spacers.
 
 The solution which has worked well for nearly ten
years, was to make a
 spacer from a piece of tubing which fits over the
axle and bears against the
 inside surface of the inner race of the wheel
bearings. My recollection is
 that the spacer is about an 1.5" long. Now when the
axle nut is tightened,
 it squeezes the bearing inner races against this
spacer rather than loading
 the bearing.  It took a bit of "test and file" to
make the spacer the right
 length to take the play out of the bearings without
adding too much preload.
