I would type a real title but I'm attempting not to use profanity

[Devin]

Anyone deal with a stuck TOB sleeve before? It won't come off. Heat, pliers, screwdrivers: nothing. Any ideas?

 

[Mr Anonymous]

Hammer an awl between the quill and the sleeve until it splits down the side.

 

[LJRuddy]

Is there any room to get a pulley puller around it?

 

[Devin]

Mr. had it. My friend got down the side of it and literally peeled it off.

I hate old ****!

Why are you pulling it?

From SHONut's website-

If you already have a steel sleeve and can't get the old one off easily, reuse it rather than risk snapping off the quill tube and having to get a new bell housing.

 

[Devin]

Any tips when replacing or do I just stick the new one on?

 

[Devin]

So I didn't read that part!

 

[NWGRN94MTX]

I use a piece of PVC drain pipe and a rubber mallet.

I use a Dremel to cut a small slit into the side of the sleve. Works like a charm. Just remember to cut through the quill sleve only, and not into the aluminum.

For install, a piece of pipe is best. If your in a pinch, upu can use a large brass punch, taking alternate hits on opposite sides of the quill ******.
Don't Forget the GREEN Loctite.

I did manage to not loctite it but we did the pipe thing and it took quite a bit of work to get the sleeve on. I don't think that piece will be moving much.

As for the aftermath on the tranny part itself there were some scrapes from the screw drivers but that's about it.
