For the sleeve, sometimes you can just turn the crankshaft a few items and it will move out slightly. Then you can just pull it out. If the lip of the sleeve is not sunk into the block. You can often get a small flathead screwdriver under it, and move the sleeve out. If the lip is sunk into the block, and it wont move out by turning the crankshaft, you will need to put a ziptie in the exhaust port, and turn the crankshaft. It will be pushed out slightly after this. Remove the ziptie and see if you can pull it out by hand.
Good luck and happy bashing
