Hang in there!, I've done several of the C113/123 motors and they all come free, but some are certainly harder than others! Easiest was a running '51 C, hardest so far was a stuck 240 block that had been sitting for 20 years. That motor distorted my favorite home made puller and gave a heavy duty one a workout that I bought for a Super M block (wanna talk about tough sleeves!).

The wet sleeves only contact about 1/2 to 3/4" at the top and near the bottom which is why you've been told they come easy once they break loose. This might not help but I would recomend that you be carfull with your puller setup. On top make sure there is clearance for the sleeve shoulder all the way around, an on the bottom make sure it's pulling evenly and not accidently contacting any of the block (I've made both mistakes when in too much of a hurry).

I've never had to resort to the welding trick described by several others, but if yours is realy stuck that might be the way to go. Good luck and let us know what finally works for you.
