I did this a while ago and the head tech at a Volvo place in Albany NY--who just happened to be standing me near the dealership's parts counter--said just re-use the old crushed sleeve, tighten it to the correct torque and that'll be right on. He said that new sleeves are a pain to torque correctly. Having replaced seals and pinion shaft bearings on two Volvos and gotten flawless service out of the rear ends for collectively 300K (and counting in one case--the other car is long gone, RIP), I have no worries that you'll make out fine.
