Not thatit's much help, but the 1-1/2 is more needed for installing. I had the same problem, but the shop was able to remove the sleeve with a 1-3/8 with a little wiggling. No help for install, but it does work for removal....

Signature? I don't need no stinking signature...

Do you use thumb slugs at all? I have a Vapor Zone with the Turbo Switch Grip sleeve in it and I decided to not use a ton of plug and just glued in a 1 3/8 inch slug in the sleeve and drill the new pitch in the slug. Worked out fine for me. I took the sander to the sleeve a bit to help the glue and then knocked down the excess slug with the router.

i ended up using the 1 3/8 bit, going to the bottom and breaking it out. then wiggling the bit and slowly notching off the sides. i was able to get the rest out with a pair of pliars*SPELLING*.
