hello i have a small id turning knife ( image 00 ), that is mounted like in image 01

each time i change that tool, i have to take out the sleeve from the machine, because there is not enough room inside the cabinet, so the keys won't fit ...

when i put it back, is a gamble, and there is a big chance to have the tool misaligned, in X and/or Y

i also can't check it's alignment, and, as a result, a new tool may break after machining 1 or 2 parts, especialy because the tool is small, so is very sensitive if not aligned properly

problem is that there is too much overhang, and i can't achieve repetability when changing that tool, and also i can't check it's alignment ... pls, how to deal with this situation? i mean, is there a 'normal' approach ? kindly
