Yes, I dremmeled a slot across the end face of the sleeve, big enough for a blade to fit in. I also dremmeled a slot/groove onto the outside diameter near to the end face of the sleeve, so that I could get a smallish chisel/punch etc into the slot, then tapped it out from the left side of the bike. Prior to punching/turning with the blade, I red heated a piece of round bar that fitted into the bore, and slipped it into the bore and let it transfer the heat into the sleeve. Add in release oil, and patience, and I finally got it out without damage. I wasnt concerned about the needle bearing and seals cos I was replacing them anyway
