You can break them out if they are the cast iron ones but you have to be very careful not to gouge the block as you do it with a cold chisel. You may want to take a long punch and sharpen it to a 45 degree bevel and work it easy. If the sleaves are chromed steel liners, you can run 3-4 beads of weld from the bottom up being careful to put a very saturated cloth shop rag over the crank journal to prevent pitting of bearing surface. This can be done on a cast iron liner as well. As the beads cool, they draw the liner in and help break the pressed fit. Be sure to hone clean the block to remove any scale or rust when reinstalling liners and clean the block flange well to prevent the top of the sleave from breaking as you seat it. These sleeves do come out hard, but if you have to take it to a machine shop to press out, it means that you have to remove engine from tractor. Can try on cyliner first before going press out route.
