Other ways to remove a wet sleeve?

Posted by paulinkansas on March 18, 2010 at 09:40:52 from (64.254.37.167):

I'm replacing the pistons, rings and sleeves on my A/C D17. I've tried pounding them up from the bottom (crank is still in the block, block is in the frame), and tried building a sleeve puller from some 3/8" flat stock and all-thread. The sleeve puller just gets bent out of shape.

Anyone have some other suggestions? I thought about heating it up slowly with a torch to about 300 degrees, then applying some ice or water to the sleeve. I also thought about cutting a slit or two down from the top with an angle grinder and cut-off wheel.
