Default E.S. Install question.....RUNNING OUT OF PATIENCE

Im trying like heck to install energy suspension
differential carrier bushings. The dam things wont fit.......
My question is:
Is the sleeve in the picture supposed to be removed?
It seems pressed in from the factory, ie like its not supposed to
be removed?
Thanks in advance for your input!

I recall reading about sawing out that sleeve while being carefull not to cut into the aluminum. My box of ES bushings has been sitting on the shelf for 2 years so i can't offer REAL good info
