Finally! I get to drive...wait... another problem

Hey guys! If you have been following my past threads, I have been without a truck for about a week.

It all started with me wanting to change my brake caliper on the passenger side. Then, I found that I needed to change the bearings in the hub. After cutting the hub/rotor assembly off of the spindle with an angle grinder, the bearings were welded to the spindle, making the spindle trashed...

So, I went and bought a knuckle/spindle assembly and I was going to put it on today until I found that the old camber sleeve (at least I think that's what it is) is still in the knuckle/spindle assembly I bought.

So, here are a few pictures...

New Knuckle Spindle Assembly with Camber Sleeve

So, this is my question...

How do I get the camber sleeve out of the new Knuckle/Spindle assembly without harming the knuckle/spindle assembly?

just tap it out with a hammer. When you reassemble, thghten the lower BJ up then install the camber bushing and tighten the nut on the upper (I guess it would be best to use the old one indexed like it was)
