Brian,
This part is not strictly true - The sleeve is supposed to remain
stationary in the plastic, with the Trunnion Bolt turning inside the
sleeve, if the sleeve was a loose fit, the plastic parts would wear,
which is not the idea of the design.
But I take your point, I have experienced this problem with my Heralds
(same parts), destroying the plastic when trying to fit the sleeve. I
simply tried a second kit (identical, same supplier!), used plenty of
coopper grease, and lined it all up in the vice, fitting all 3 parts at
the same time - no problem at all. I have no fix, other than gently
opening up the plastic with a round file - QH are the only supplier I
know of!
