Thanks in advance

It is welded on! leave it there and lift with it on, or if you need it off,grind spot weld off

Good luck! I had the same thing happen when I changed mine. It is probably permanently rusted inside the sleeve. I had to cut it off with an angle grinder.

I was assuming you wanted to change the bolt also. If that is not the case, then do what otsenre said.
