The spacer is a slide fit but the two short "half "dowel holes locating the balancer get burred and prevent it coming off easily. Dress them carefully with a with a small fine oil stone. As the oil seal sits about 3mm off-center the sleeve can be re-used if you turn it round the other way. Mark which way round when you remove it! An MB replacement is not cheap!!
