couldn't you try to freeze the sleeve with liquid nitrogen to shrink it then try to pull it up to place. Its worth a try if you are going to have to rebuild it anyways. Just make sure the piston is at BDC and then pore the liquid nitrogen in, the sleeve should shrink and you should be able to move it. If the shrinks to much and gets stuck to the piston then turn the engine and the sleeve should move up. This sounds like a possible solution. I am not 100% sure whether it will work but its at least worth a shot.
