Yeah you should see the year-end bonus I get from the club for dispensing my words of wit.

You can get scientific with the sleeve removal, and try to heat the steel to see if it will slip off. pack the bore with dry ice while you heat the sleeve with a propane torch.

Or just put the assembly in the freezer overnight, take it out in the AM and heat the outside with the gas and it might expand the sleeve enough to loosen it before the heat conducts through to the casting.

Quick and dirty – cut a diagonal slot through the sleeve and expand it for easier removal, or grind through the side of it with a Dumore (Dremel) grinder.

You can probably also chuck the housing in the lathe and machine it off but you’d need a good sized lathe and four-jaw chuck or faceplate to make that one work.

Lotsa ways to skin the cat.
