REMOVING DRY SLEEVES

REMOVING DRY SLEEVES
Removing dry cylinder liners by pressing them out can require a lot of setup time. Using your boring bar, offset the centering with a .030 feeler gauge on one finger. Line up the offset so you can view your cut. Set the bit by letting it slide out to liner. Start with a light cut making a full length pass down the cylinder. Using your bar mic work on out in light cuts until the sleeve is very thin. Once you have it as thin as your willing to go, push a rounded edge screwdriver, nothing sharp, behind the liner, breaking through it. Do not damage the parent bore. Now it will slide right out.
