Gerber two handle shower faucet sleeve stuck

I am trying to repair a leak in the shower spigot. I’ve removed the handle which broke. I’m now unable to remove the several inch long “sleeve” that the stem sits inside of. I thought it should simply unscrew. I’ve tried unscrew by hand, sprayed with clr, heated lightly with a torch, put a pipe wrench on. Any tips on how to get this piece off? Images below. It’s a gerber circa 1970 two handle.

I got it... I had to screw in a piece to the exposed end, then use the pipe wrench on the new piece. Came right off. Now to hunt for a new stem...
