Hi all
I have a series 3 petrol, engine block, 3 bearing, that has to have new liners (because of deep groves and rust and were are over 0.040) how can I remove the liners and fit new ones on a tight budget?
I was going to buy a removal tool but I there seams to be no liner visible from the underside to locate the tool on to remove it.
Next thought was to melt the liners out or cut with a hack saw until they split, but i am concerned this will do more damage than good. Along with the williys jeep method of chiselling them out. Then putting the new liners in the freezer and driving them in with a wood block and hammer.
I haven't really the money for someone else to remove and refit them or a new block so be grateful for your advice.
