ok I'm having problems I'm trying to get my sleeve out but it just wont budge i tryed one of the flat tappet but it didnt work what do you reccomend i use
 
Heat the crank case with a heat gun or hair dryer.
Heat is the best tool for getting that sleeve out. Never use screw drivers or any other tool to try to push the sleeve out, it will scratch it up pretty bad if you slip. If you must push it use something soft like a plastic toothbrush handle or a small wooden rod.
 
I usually just rotate the piston down to the bottom of the cylinder, then stick a ziptie head in one of the sleeve ports, then rotate the crankshaft and let the piston push it out.

Heat should definitely help.
