You can use a (thick) block of wood and a sledge (or heavy shop hammer) on some dry sleeves. I have installed well over a dozen dry sleeves in blocks, when I worked in an automotive machine shop. We always used a block and sledge. But the freezer-trick may be a better choice if it is available. Be SURE of your clearances and mic (and match or number) the bores and the sleeves, and make sure that the "press-fit" tolerances are within the specified range. When we bored a block for a sleeve... we would always wait till the sleeve was in the shop, before boring, so that we could measure the sleeve for the proper bore sizing. If you run into too much "press-fit interference"... you have a major problem. Yes, dry sleeves are thin, but they will take a pretty good beating... as long as you hit it "square on the top" (if it needs some help seating the sleeve in the bore)! Use a 4" thick, wide block of oak (not pine or soft wood) if you do need to drive the sleeve. Have an assistant (wearing gloves, eye, AND ear protection) hold the block (keeping it square and constantly against the sleeve top), so that the person swinging the hammer can strike a square (and firm) blow on the block of wood. Do not let the block bounce too much or become off centered. Do not strike the block till it is firmly aligned (touching the entire rim) across the top of the sleeve. Good luck!

Product Review: JB Weld - by Staff. JB Weld is basically an epoxy glue that does an exceptionally good job of bonding to cast iron and steel along with several other materials. As I mentioned, it is so common that I have yet to buy a tractor that did not have JB Weld used somewhere. It is sometimes used so well you can't tell its there and other times used as a sloppy quick fix. Finding where and how it can be used correctly is key to whether you are using it as an "inelegant hack" or an integral solution to difficult and expens
