I groove them (carefully) with a carbide burr where there's a long intake port so you don't have to worry about hitting the block as much. Once you groove down evenly the full length of the sleeve it will start to buckle in.
It will usually just pull out after that. Sometimes you have to tap it out from the crank side with a brass punch.
