A trick to remove the inner fulcrum sleeves from the fulcrum that worked for
me was to use a carbide burr on the sleeve to make a couple of flats on the
sleeve to fit a wrench. You can't grip the round sleeves with vice-grips
otherwise because they are hardened. PB Blaster overnight first as you
suggested then apply heat from a torch up into the end of the sleeves while
rotating the sleeves back and forth with the wrench.

Wear leather gloves, those babies get hot!
