Bill, It is not difficult to cut the sleeve down. I Just cut it down with the side of a cut off wheel and polished the end with sandpaper then Tripoli. I found for another hundred dollars it was

Thank you, Alexandre. My drive motor and jack screw motor spent the last week at the shop getting the full "spa" treatment, and I'm putting everything back together tomorrow. Hoping to splash on Wed.
