I got one of these for Fox DU removal and installation.

Works a treat.

im trying to find the correct ones but can't see them, also they mention a sleeve that needs putting in but when i removed the old bushings there didn't seem to be one?

that sleeve you are talking about is probably the DU bushing?

That sleeve is the bushing. That is the bit that wears away, not the mounting kit (reducers). Well they do wear away but it's usually the DU that's worn.

If the top hats just fell out easy the bush is likely to be worn

When you are looking for bushings and or a fitting tool for fox shocks, some people adveritse them as 1/2 inch, this is the same as 12.7mm as ltheisinger told you before. Makes sense when you think about it but it was confusing me earlier. 🙂 🙄
