We used to install repair sleeves at room temp with a sledge hammer. About 10 years we started using dry ice on the sleeves and an oven to heat the blocks to about 250 degrees F. The sleeves slide in with almost no force, dry. No failures so far.
What model, Mike? As for using dry ice to install sleeves, management always looked at me like I had three heads every time I suggested this...
