I've just received a belt drive kit from LMS for my X2 mill. Clear instructions but I've come to a grinding halt trying to remove the black sleeve under the spindle nut. I can't remove it, it's just too tight. How tight should this be? The instructions don't mention any special tools being required. How can I remove it? I don't have any gear/bearing pullers.

| Well the pliers did the trick. It just needed a lot more force than I was using. Now all i need is 3/32" hex key to tighten the motor pulley (I'm a completely metric shop  )
