I tried the el-cheepo brand before I saw the one that "TheMiniMan" sells. It only lasted a few months. I managed to get the sleeve out by drilling 2mm drill bits into opposite sides and leaving them in there, then pulling on the drill bits with pliers. Not much room in there and you have to make sure you don't slip and scratch the sealing surface. I ended up going with 2 seals because I had them in my spares bin and it stopped the leak.

My car has been running Matts kit since December 2014 with no leaks. Happy Wifey... Thanks Matt.
