There is a special Tool for turning the Sleeve. I think Pelican sells it. At least you can take a look.
The tool is basically a tube that is tapered inside and lined with a soft Plastic type substance to garb onto the Sleeve when you rotate it.

The Tumbler has 2 metal blocks that rise up when you insert it and pull out the Pin. The larger Block locks into a recess inside of the Sleeve.
I have indeed considered the pin slightly CCW of the actual release hole and I'm sure I'm in the correct one. No joy tonight. Will try again tomorrow before grinding the lock pin down.
