This has been discussed recently. Search on the title , quile sleeve removal
Despite the misspelling, there is a lot of information in that thread.

Using 'quile sleeve removal' in the search engine brought up this post...the only post actually. Dremel seems to be the best option...

Mine seems clean...maybe I should just reuse it???

I think there was different versions of it , best is to replace just to be sure.

I removed mine with a "hub hammer" by placing the tool on the side of the sleeve where there is a tiny lip where you can have a grip , I got lucky and it went right out. If not , dremel or a air die-grinder with a cutting wheel.

The old one is probably not worn. If the new release bearing fits with a smooth sliding fit (no slop), it's probably fine to reuse it.

If you must replace it, try using a torch to get it glowing orange. This breaked up anything that kept mine in place and made the removal quick.

Got it out with a combo of dremel, cold chisel, screw driver, and some wire cutters. While I probably could have kept the original on there I felt more comfortable using everything that was included in the new cleutch kit.

Thanks for the help fellas.
