Answer 1

The "best" way is to get the cylinder exchange kit from these guys;http://www.sbtontheweb.com/Merchant2/mer...

                 or..........

Buy oversized pistons and have your block bored.

The sleeves are pressed in. You will need a way to heat the block (hot oil is best) then use a "puck" to press the sleeve from the bottom. Another method is to cut a relief slot the entire length of the sleeve then it comes out with ease.

If you are trying to get it out with a hammer and a punch, forget it.
