Hammer, Chisel
If the crankshaft currently has a wear sleeve, it must be removed before installing a new one.
Caution: Do not nick or gouge the crankshaft with the chisel. If the crankshaft is damaged, it must be replaced.
Use a dull chisel that is only as wide as the wear sleeve.
Make one or two soft blows with a hammer to make chisel marks across the wear sleeve. This will expand the wear
sleeve allowing the sleeve to be removed.
