The last reply post came too late. I got one out!
Technique won't pass but no damage to block. I took a picture, but it will take some time to figure out how to post it.I'll post the picture when I figure that out.
Thanks guys, it's good to have back-up
 
I bought a hand full of hack saw blades and made a one piece frame and pop-rivited a blade to it. Made two verticle cuts, top to bottom, took a dremel and dished out 4 places at the top of the flange, took a snub nosed punch and a 2# hammer and whacked each of dished out places toward the inside of the sleeve. Gave it a whack to the bottom edge of the sleeve and she popped loose
It was a wet sleeve once upon a time , but was dry and rusted in

That makes my arms tired looking at it. If it works, and saves both the money and the block, it is good. JimN
 
Good technique. With one out you have a "guide" as to how deep to cut on the remainder.

With surgical precision, you could employ a power tool for the "roughing" cut and then finish with the hand blades. You can cut more deeply into the water-bathed area but be sensitive around the top and the o-ring seal.

Any kind of a weak spot you can generate is going to give the cast a place to crack. The kerf is better as it allows the halves to pull radially away from where they are stuck.
 
Mister! That had t'a been a lotta work! But it'll all be worth it when it's tme to start putting her back together.

Do you still have one to do?
 
Yes one to go, but should go easier.
It took awhile, but it was going to be the first of the week before the hi $/ hour welder would be able to run the beads inside. I'll have them out before then. Thanks again for replys.
