Be sure you remove any nicks or burrs from the balancer before installing the sleeve. Even a tiny little bump will screw up the sleeve when you try to install it. Use some 400-grit wet-n-dry sandpaper with light oil or WD-40 for lube. I just wrap some around the hub and wrap my thumb & forefinger around it and twist it around until it cleans up. Bit nicks will need a file or stone. Clean it off, loctite it, and tap the sleeve on GENTLY with a block of wood.
