While pulling my new, but leaking, main seal, the sleeve I had put on was bent a little. Figured I would go ahead and put another on taking no chances. Anyone have a trick for getting a sleeve off?

I screwed up my 1st also, I used an inductive coil to heat it ( https://www.theinductor.com/induction-heater-tools/mini-ductor/models/md-venom ), came right off, using a block of wood to tap it off (note engine was out, pan off, and rear rod cap was off).
