The sleeves finally did budge!!

Thanks to all who gave me advice on getting the sleeves out of my
46 A. It took me about two hours this afternoon but they are all out
now. Since the block was on an engine stand I turned it over and got
it under my shop press. I supported underneath the block with a
couple of pieces of oak flooring and used a screw from a floor jack to
reach from the press to the puller plate (now a pusher plate). Since I
had already moved the number 3 sleeve about an eighth of an inch I
pushed it out first. Then I shot some PB Blaster on the inside of the
other sleeves and waited an hour. Once they broke loose and I
pressed them the first half inch they pretty much fell out. The only
problem was the number 1 sleeve, it took as much force as I felt
comfortable applying before popping lose. A 20 ton press would
have been better than my 12 ton because the larger frame would
allow more room to work. The interesting thing is that I found a half
inch of mud inside the water jacket.
