Status: offline 		You have to pull the sleeve out to create room for the rod to slip off of the crank. The sleeve just pulls straight out from the top, may take some work but should easily come out. Then slide the rod off of the crank and shes out.

Status: offline 		try turning the engine over, sometimes the piston will help push it out.
Otherwise remove the carb and bake it in the oven at 300 for a few minutes, the sleeve should pretty much fall out.
