Bushing removal

74 truck. Have the A-arms off and was going to replace the bushings. I pushed the rubber and center piece out and then had the a-arms powder coated.

When I got the new bushings they also have the metal sleeve on the outside, didnt know that was supposed to come out. What is the best way to remove it with minimal damage to the powder coating?

Thanks in advance.

Carefully cut through each one with a hand saw in 2 places and pull em out with pliers.
