cylinder liner removal HELP - outta ideas

Post by AlfaBeta »

Hi gang,

In the process of a rebuild on a Milano V6 and I'm having trouble trying to remove the liners. I was able to get 2 of the 6 out but these last 4 won't budge. So far the best way I've found is to tap (lightly) on the bottom with a piece of wood. Anyone have any ideas or tricks to remove the liners without damaging anything?

thanks

AlfaBeta Have you tried some heat ? Take a propane torch and work the flame around the base and then give your wooden block a good tap.If you're going to re-use your liners make sure they don't go flying out and crash to the floor.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the reply. I'll give the heat trick a try, I'll put a bag of ice water in the liner. And I'll blast the block with a heat gun and give the liner a wack. Regarding the tool pics, those were pretty neat!

thanks again
