Engine rebuilding

[Galen Ames]

How can I get the cyclinder sleve out of the engine?

Generally a sleeve puller is used, what engine etc.?

It's not difficult to build your own if you are set up to cut and weld steel.

Make, model, wet or dry sleeve? Before you pull the old sleeves. Can you obtain replacement sleeves or require custom sleeves?
If wet are the coolant passages/water jacket full of corrosion? I had to soak an old Petter Diesel for a week in vinegar.
Easy does it with a puller beats cracking something with a sledge.

I had to make a sleeve puller to get mine out of a tractor too. The bore was 4", so the sleeve was a little under 5" wide. I first used a 3/8 x 2 inch piece of flat iron as a bridge on the top and bottom. The top bent when I tried to screw it together. I ended up using a 12" piece of a tractor drawbar to pull it out. There was a 3/4" existing trailer ball hole in the drawbar, so I cut the bar with a torch so that the hole was in the center of the 12" piece. I used 5/8 or 3/4 allthread.

Paul, What are you doin' breakin drawbars? I suppose it's the hired help. I have one with a diamond shaped plate welded on the top of it.

I saw the drawbar at a scrap metal recycler around the same time I was doing the rebuild. The guy that runs the place puts good items by the entry gate for people to buy. It's a great source for angle and flat iron in lengths less than 10 feet.
