FD front LCA removal

This is a bushing question. I forgot to put "bushing" in the title. I was unable to change the thread title.

I posted this question in the suspension forum ( https://www.rx7club.com/suspension-w...ement-1098883/ ), but not really getting any info. It didn't help that I didn't initially specify the generation. I thought if I posted it here, a few more eyes would see it.

I'm in the process of removing the front LCA OEM rubber bushings, and I've noticed that the "rear" bushing is different than the "front" bushing. Of all the detail that Jimlab's great bushing replacement thread ( https://www.rx7club.com/suspension-w...shings-648765/ ) includes, it doesn't seem to detail these particular bushings.
In looking at one of Jimlab's pics, it appears that the removed "rear" bushing has a metal sleeve:

I would like to know how you guys got this bushing and sleeve out. Is it supposed to press out altogether, or does the rubber part press out, and the sleeve is removed separately somehow. Thanks in advance!
