In another form, a split-sleeve heater is provided that includes a heater body having opposed ends and a slot extending between the opposed ends. A recess is formed conjointly with the slot proximate at least one of the opposed ends, which is adapted for engagement by a removal tool. Methods of operating the tool and forming the slot of the split-sleeve heater are also provided.
