It took me maybe 5 minutes with this kit: https://www.amazon.com/Bearing-Puller-Internal-Extractor-Remove/dp/B017XDLDDYI appreciate the feedback. I have been reading threads and getting that sleeve out looks like a 10 hour fight.

Taking out passenger axle can be challenging the first time, however it is possible to take it out without fully disassembling the strut/wheel hub.
Get a long torx set for the propeller shaft bolt, and a few extensions.
I would not say it is super-hard. Definitely not 10 hours, maybe 2, including consuming couple of beers.
