Sleeves out

Ulysses Hammen · Aug 14, 2010

I have the engine on the stand and most of the parts removed, how do I get the sleeves out?

Also, does the oil filler tube must come out for acid bath? What about the nozzle for oil dip stick?

the oil filler tube just press's in, the sleeves can usually be driven out from bottom with a hardwood block and hammer, but they do make a puller for them

I just removed a sleeve from my TO-20 with the engine in-frame. I split a piece of wood using a hammer and switched to a 1" diameter cast iron pipe. The pipe and hammer did the trick. Good luck.

You mean you really have to hit it that hard? My engine block is on the stand, would that break the block?

I had the same issue trying to wallop the "H" out the bottom of the sleeve. I ended up cutting a sturdy 4x4 the height of the front engine to prop it up. It helped a lot.
