No cutting, no oil, but I went through about 6 flat-head screwdrivers lol.
This but use some penetrating lubricant. Also, strike evenly around the bottom of the circle, first 12 o clock, then 6, then 3, then 9, and back to 12... Applying oil occasionally. Took me about 15 minutes per sleeve with this method. I tried the first two with a Sawzall... Went through about 5 blades... And 2 screw drivers... Don't give up, especially of the subframe is already out. It's a PITA but I promise you get a hell of a sense of accomplishment afterwards... Plus your car will handle better!
