i have always used the flexplate spacer or flywheel to install the sleeve cause or tool at the shop got lost, just put a bead of silicone on the back of the rear main along the flange that the bolts go threw and then line it up and i always give the sleeve a couple light taps with a hammer just enough to hold it on the crank and then i use 3 or 4 bolts and slowly tighten them down evenly with the flexplate spacer in place but dont tighten it down all the way the last thread on the bolt will get damaged and will make it hard to get out, just go till they snug down and then remove and thigthen the rear main bolts and then install the flexplate and spacer and tighten all the way, if you are using a flywheel you can just run them down even till they are tight
