# Remove and attach your sleeve

The following instructions explain how to remove and install the sleeve section of your power meter shaft. The sleeve is a replaceable component of your power meter. A sleeve of a different length can be fitted to lengthen or shorten the shaft.

## Step 1. Remove the existing sleeve

* The sleeve is fitted to the shaft with hot-melt glue. Using a heat gun, heat up the glued end of the sleeve. The glued section is 75mm long. Take care not to overheat the shaft by heating gradually and frequently checking to see if the glue connection can be separated.

## Step 2. Apply masking tape to the shaft

* Allow a 35mm spacing between the end of the shaft and the edge of the tape.

## Step 5. Heat up the glue on the shaft and pre-heat the sleeve

## Step 6. Attach the clamp sleeve onto the shaft

* When the glue becomes melted and the clamp shaft warm, quickly assemble the sleeve onto the shaft. Slide the clamp sleeve down the shaft until the bottom edge meets the tape applied in Step 2. Align the “0 degree” marking on the clamp with the LED.

## Step 7. Allow the hot melt glue to cool and set and then remove the masking tape

* Applying the heat gun to any excess glue on top of the tape will allow the tape to be removed easily, removing the excess glue with it.
* Any remaining excess hot melt glue can be rubbed away using Mineral Turpentine soaked rag.
