Default Differential Cover Bushings

I'm replacing all the rear suspension bushings with Prothane poly. The differential cover bushings did not seem to fit so I took it to a shop to be pressed in. The shop says there are sleeves that they think need to come out in order for the bushings to go in. Does this sound right?

Just did a set of those, got them from Summit for $20. Yes the sleeves must be removed. They are thicker and take more effort to remove than the sleeves in the other rear suspension parts. The same technique works fine though.

Thanks for the confirmation. The shop said they would remove them for me.
