replace sleeve in a yanmar 1500

"have it as tight as it will go."

How can that be, unless the bolt ran out of threads. I would forget the WD-40 and use real penetrating oil, drive it back down and try it again.

I have never use a puller.But I have never pull them on a Yanmar . On all the other tractors I have done I used a bock of wood an a hammer and they always came out.

I would be careful with the head bolts. I used a piece of pipe just larger than the bore. I put the bar across it so as not to damage the head bolt threads. I used an air impact gun to tighten the nut. The impact seemed to help. Lube on the threads is a good thing also. Good Luck

did not work on it today. hopefully in the morning I may be able to think of something new to try to use to pull sleeve. as far as the head bolt I put the nuts on them and turned down till the bolt and nut are even so as not to damage the bolts. I know there is a puller for the sleeve out there its just I have no idea where to get it or how it works.
here are some of the pictures of what i'm doing

I wonder if your applying too much pressure to the sides of the sleeve causing it to push out against the cylinder wall making it difficult to come out

Just a thought

The sleeve puller I made for the ammonia compressors at work consisted very much of what you have there. The only difference was the bottom part. I made a 1/2" flat plate just a tiny bit smaller in diameter than the sleeve itself, with two flats ground on the sides so I could put it in from the top, then turn it into position and thread the rod into it - there wasn't much room to work from below is the reason I did it this way.......if this sleeve is "sticking", I'd knock it back down and look for the reason, maybe you're puller is hanging up on something from below, or it's causing the sleeve to cock in the bore?

You're design is OK, but I might have drilled holes where the studs are so the crossbar could "float" a bit and used pieces of pipe to support the crossbar instead of pushing down on the head bolts - if that's what I'm seeing in your pics...........
