I had the same router. There were no sleeves or adapters. It had 2 separate collet assembly's, one 1/4" and one 1/2". The collet (or sleeve?) should stay snapped into the collet nut. If you ended up with with a sleeve still in the shaft with the nut off, it may have got stuck from sitting to long. I was given a Bosch that did the same thing, I snapped it back together, installed a bit and started routing. Big mistake, when I tried to remove it, it separated again. Only this time with the collet and a bit stuck tightly in the shaft. Ended up prying it out and ordered a new collet.
