Default mind bender -- 4" cast iron female hub, lead 4" pipe

Hi all,

I'm working on the toilet plumbing that was installed right after the
last ice age. :-)

Below the toilet, I had a female cast iron hub with a 4" lead pipe
inserted which came up to mate with the horn on the bottom of the
toilet. The top of the lead pipe was pretty chewed up and would not make
an air tight seal in the event of a stoppage and overflow. I decided to
remove the lead pipe from the female cast iron and convert to 4" pvc with
a conversion gasket.

I've got the protruding lead pipe cut off but it appears that there is a
steel sleeve holding the lead pipe in place in the 4" cast iron female.
My recip saw with metal cutting blade won't even put a dent in it. How
do I get this #$%^&^^ sleeve out? Perhaps some kinda "dent puller"???

Any suggestions really appreciated.
