How do I remove cylinder sleeves

[dljohnson]

Anyone have any suggestions on the easiest way to remove cylinder sleeves from a continental z134 engine?

notice you said easiest, that would be to weld 2 beads across from each other and then you can just pull it out with your fist.thats if the sleeves are junk. other way you need a sleeve puller.

I did mine on a cont z145 by turning the engine upside down on a stand heated the sleeve with a propane torch to release the o-rings, put a block of wood across the sleeve put a piece of pipe on the block of wood and knocked them out with a hammer. I also had new sleeves to put back in. since there is a high likelyhood of heat warping the sleeves with this method.
