Cylinder sleeves bent

I won a set of cylinders for my Z1 900 on eBay and when the arrived three of the sleeves were bent on the bottom.(shipper did not wrap them up in bubble pack or anything at all, just tossed them in a box and shipped them) :angry: Any way, I am sure the sleeves can be replaced, where can I get them replaced? Can I send them somewhere, or just find a local machine shop?

I was wondering that myself. Not sure witch way they press them out. Maybe they could be cut closer to the cylinder and then pressed out.

Wow! somebody must have skipped anger class. They come out the top, dont' worry about the bends, they'll pop right out. They are not pressed in, and they aren't tight. Get a block of wood and tap with a hammer, careful not to drop them, be a shame to damage them .:unsure:B)

They were bored to 1045, so the sleeves are a bit thin, could be why they bent so easily.
