The red Loctite supplied is as much of a lubricant for helping it slide on as it is a sealer when it hardens. I like to take the balancer and polish up the contact surface on the wire wheel before installing the sleeve. I also use an old cast oil pump plate to drive the seal in place. The solid metal surface allows me to keep things centered better than using a wood block that has a lot more give.

Edit: Just noticed the price -- I'd be looking elsewhere. The last one I purchased six months ago was $12.19, the one before that was $11.36, and so on back to when they were $6 and change.
I just checked for the 16203 on O"Reilly's webpage and they have it for $9.99 Hope that helps.
