aaaaaaaahhhh! i wish i had a workshop like that with a bunch of tools, i just busted my force .28 (but it was already boogered up) I tried removing the sleeve. i tried tapping, putting a zip tie in it to push the sleeve up, putting a lollipop stick through, heating it, talking nice to it, nothing, then i tapped it with a small plastic screwdriver while it was heated while i was turning the crank and it cracked the case.. aahhhh. I'm not paying $70 for a tool that i will use once on an engine that is only worth $100 new.
Had the same problem once, but I used a more simple solution..... On a OS 0.12
I found a dynabolt that was very close to the sleeve bore, chucked it in the freezer, then baked the crank case.
Pulled the crank case out with a teatowl, and quickly put the dynabolt into the sleeve and tensioned it up... Would u belvedere the sleeve pulled out with no resistance.... Worked a treat... Cheapest tool ever
