To those who asked if the sleeve will slide off, no it won't.
The sleeve only slips a little, under weight. Even if it did slip freely ar ound the bar, it wouldn't be possible to get the straight sleeve off of the curved bar.
I hope to attack this project this weekend. Thanks for everyone's suggestio ns thus far.
