I am currently resealing our Alpha One Gen 2 outdrive.
And I have ordered a Speedi-Sleeve for the yoke shaft surface.
Looking ahead, I am wondering how this sleeve gets installed.
It comes with an installation tool for driving the sleeve on.
But the protruding shaft spline will be in the way of that tool.
So will I need to drill a hole in the center of the installation tool.?
Or do you guys use some other pipe or tube to drive the sleeve on.?

I freeze the shaft and put the sleeve in the oven and heat to 350. Then drop on
