I did mine last summer and pulled all the sleeves out by just moving the crank to find the sweet spot. I did not have to remove the pump. Once you pull the first sleeve you'll see how easy it actually is. It might be easier on a couple to take the puck off, put the puller rod down the cylinder and attach it from the bottom side then pull it. Put the new sleeves in a deep freezer long enough for them to contract and pound them in with a thick piece of hardwood like oak. If the block is warm and the sleeve freezing it goes in slick.

Thanks Steve, Your help is deffinately apprecaeted very much and makes me feel alot better now.. Guess the the next step is to find a puller that works. I have a very old one that a guy lent to me but it doesn't have a puck, but rather has a rectangle about 1 inch wide and maybe 4 to 5 inches in depth that has 3 steps to it for different sized sleeves.Turn it over and has a couple more steps.just looking at the steps,dont look like any would be the correct fit..but is is so rusty on the steps dont know if any would be a close fit even if the rust is cleaned up good,but anyway thanks again Steve.
