I have trimmed the backside of the outer flange of a seal before to get the seal to set in a little farther so it rides on a fresh area. I suppose if you have the kit though not much need to do that. I don't see why you would have to remove the oil pump though.

In order for the sleeve lip to get pushed all the way up the shaft, it has to pass through the aluminum housing that surrounds the front end of the crank. so that simply won't work, especially since I have to pull the rim off after I drive the sleeve on. I tried another idea, see above. We'll see if that works
