Use a small die grinder with a thin cutting disc and VERY CAREFULLY grind a slot into the sleeve being careful not to grind through to the crank. Then use a cold chisel to split the sleeve so you can pry it up and off a little at a time.

As it sits now would it be possible to apply heat to the remaining sleeve to expand it and loosen it without damaging any other parts like the retainer that hold the crank seal in place?

Also, would it be possible to drill a series of small holes through the metal sleeve and into the top of the key that holds the sleeve in place?

Would it be possible to take a pipe cutter and cut through the circumference of the sleeve in several places so as to loosen and weaken the grip the sleeve has on the crank snout?

If you remove the timing cover, is it possible to possibly drive the sleeve forward?

Is it possible to remove the crank from the engine while leaving the sleeve in place as it is AND THEN gain better access to removing the sleeve?
