If you are not trying to save the sleeve it"s real simple.

Take a grinder with a cut off disk in it and cut two small slices about 1/4" apart into the top of the sleeve angled out towards the block.
The idea is to cut through (or mostly through) the flange on the top of the sleeve. (don"t panic if you nick the block a bit)

After that take a small (very sharp) chisel and tap into the edge of the sleeve flange where it meets the block. A nice chunk will break out the flange exposing the block.

Take a nice long thin flat bladed screw driver and insert the blade into the crack between the sleeve and block. Tap gently and the screw driver will peel a slice out of the sleeve like a can opener. After that you can lift the sleeve out of the block by hand.

It works like a charm and you should be able to do all 4 in less then a half hour.
