418311-3 supersedes older part numbers: 418311-7
Original Makita sleeve — part number 418311-3 — for the reciprocating saw driving assembly. This small, durable polymer sleeve locates and protects adjoining components in the blade clamp/drive area, restoring proper fit and reducing play when the original sleeve is worn or split. It’s sold individually; the retaining pin that secures the sleeve is supplied separately.
Quick to replace and engineered to the same fit as the factory component, the sleeve helps keep the crank/drive mechanism running smoothly under vibration and regular jobsite use. A like‑for‑like swap generally requires only common hand tools and saves you from replacing larger assemblies.
Fits a range of Makita reciprocating saws — for example: BJR181, BJR182, BJR240 and several JR-series models including JR140D, JR180D, JR3030T, JR3050T, JR3060T and JR3070CT. If you keep a supply of Makita spare parts, this sleeve is a simple, low-cost repair to get a saw back into service.
