Thanks that’s reassuring. Also means I can justify buying another tool  (copper hammer)  - happy days.will update how I get on when hammer arrives next week.

You can just use a block of wood and use a normal hammer  ;) I only use a copper hammer as i have one .
You will have to knock them down while it is hot  :)

All done now. 200 degrees for 30 min in the oven and the sleeves were completely free to drop back into place no real need for tapping home  but it was a comforting check. The intakes were perfect for resting the block on. No need to skim or use a press as mentioned on US forum so hopefully reassuring to someone else in future.
Thanks for the advice Graham.
