I'll  vote for the hack saw, just be careful and use one with a very fine  
edge. Try not to cut the arm. I usually can pry it out with a  screwdriver after 
cutting 90% or so.

My vote too.  The sleeves are just mild steel--cut the "lip" first and  work 
your way down 1/3 or so.  Then you can use a cold chisel to tap one  end of 
the cut lip inside.  This usually breaks the rust bond.   Liberal use of a 
penetrant like Liquid Wrench or PB Blaster speeds things  up.  DO NOT pound on it 
while the steering box is still attached or you  will damage  the box.
