here's how it sits but me thinks its the wrong way around, all the mud and stuff would just go up into the sleeve..and when i put it around the other way it just hits the bar and no more...would that be a problem??? cheers

It should go the other way around, I have the same one and it installed fine. I think there's a pic in my build thread if that helps any. Shouldn't hit anything either.

Cut the sleeve off around the weld with a grinder and remove it. You don't need it.
