Removing cylinder sleeves

I'm working with an Oliver Super 55 Diesel - getting ready to pull the old sleeves in install new ones. I'm looking for some ideas, as I have tried driving them out from the underside with a wooden block, but I have yet to move them at all. I have heard that some have used a slide hammer. I'm open to any suggestions.

That has wet sleeves,so you don't have to be concerned with breaking them. When they pop loose,they will lift out. Yes,we borrowed a slide hammer type puller one time before I built my own for those Olivers. It worked best to hang it up on the chain fall to keep constant pressure on it,then just whack away. The one that I made,I used a piece of 1/2 inch plate,cut two flat sides on it and used a salvaged joint from a swivel type breaker bar so I could drop it down from the top. I welded it to half of an old U bolt from the spring of a big truck. It has fine threads so it pulls strong and slow. The top plate that sits on the top of the engine is just flat plate with two small pieces of channel on the sides. Like I said,with those wet sleeves,they don't have to be lifted very far.

You can make a puller easy enough. 3/4" allthread, washers, nuts, and a heavy chunk of barstock on either end with 13/16" or so holes in the center. The bottom barstock must be sized to fit the outside of the sleeve but not interfere with other block parts. Use wood on the underside of the barstock on the deck side. Works perfect.

I recently removed sleeves from an oliver 70 and they came out VERY HARD! I reinforced a puller three times.I finally ended up with 1/2 inch plate on top and 3/4 bar stock below to break them loose. good luck!

Just don't be tempted to use a piece of pipe and a hydraulic jack like a customer once did.Thought he would save some money. I had to take a 3010 block out of that customer's tractor and send it out to a welder when the pipe slipped and broke the webbing between two cylinders. Another caution. Don't hit,tap or otherwise beat on top of the block like I have seen some people do. Go rent a puller somewhere.

I am not familar with an Oliver. What works for me on Deere engines where the liner sticks out below the block on the bottom side is use some large threaded rod (5/8)to generate upward force on the liner. Then take a large punch (1 inch steel rod) and hammer and persuade the liner from the bottom side. The threaded
rod is used to make a puller with bridging on top and wide metal bar on the bottom.

I have done the welding technique with success. But I did mess one up when I got too much penetration on a sleeve.
Be careful.

What the guys at the shop swear by is using a welder. Weld a complete bead all the way around the inside of the sleeve, then let it cool. Then try to hit it from the bottom with a block of wood and a hammer. It should pop out without too much trouble.

Whoa there , put the welder back on the shelf,

that is a wet liner engine . Those sleeves do

not come out hard.If you don't have a sleeve

puller , turn the block upside down, set it on

2 short 4x4's ,put a steel plate on the bottom

of the liner ,knock out with heavy bar. Move

4x4's and repeat.

Georges method worked for me. I put a piece of 3/8 metal across the bottom of the sleeve and used a 4# maul to knock them out . Slick as a whistle.
