300 RC Sleeve removal question

Posted by Zak on February 19, 2004 at 07:44:44 from (205.188.209.82):

OK, at the risk of sounding like a rank amateur in the tractor tinkering world...here goes. I've got a 300 which I'm considering installing a set of 3 5/8 firecraters in. The block with crank is still in the tractor, and I'd like to leave it there. Can I (drumroll please!) push each piston and rod up out of each sleeve, and then either drive each sleeve a' la the wood block method, or using a sleeve puller, remove each sleeve and insert the new ones without dropping the crank? I've never removed dry sleeves before. Are they any more difficult than wet types (like what my F-12 had)? Should I just not bother and close 'er back up? Thanks all, Zak
