Yet another sleeve question

[Britcheflee]

Saw the video of the removal and replacement of the sleeves in an engine just recently.

My question is - can the sleeves be removed/replaced with the engine in place and not have to take it out completley?

Thank you,

Lee

Are you talking about TOHs videos here?

Seems to me that trying to remove them with the crank in the engine would be aggravating, or impossible.

It might be easier with the first tool that he made that used a threaded rod.

I dunno.....

Short answer - yes. I have an in-frame puller kit that I'm curently working the kinks out of. You use it in place of the screw in handle to pull the sleeves from the top. The same "puck" used to drive them out from the bottom is used to pull them out from the top. You have to remove the head and oil pan to use the puller but the engine can stay on the tractor. I intend to offer the puller itself as an accessory to the driver kits and in a boxed set complete with the driver handle and pucks for the 120, 134, and 172 CID motors.

Yep, that ought to do it just fine.

Although in the pics, the legs don't look as long as the sleeves, but that might be a perception issue on my end.

They are actually about 1/4" longer than the sleeves.

I did R&R'd mine in the the frame (crank in) with a driver tool I had built very similarly to the 1st tool pic'd in the link above. Don't know that I would have tried it with an .040" sleeve. But it worked great with my .090" sleeves.

So yes, it can be done and it's not that difficult, given some forethought.
