Did the sleeve go on easily? Was there any trouble or was it easy? I've never 
used one, so I'd really like to know how heart-stopping this might be.

I REALLY like your lock. Could you have turned the drive plate 60 deg and

Did you check the final drive gear oil level? Perhaps you did that earlier, but
