On a Kubota engine how do you remove a cylinder lining out of the motor block, I was told they are dry linings ? . the # two piston hole is worn 10 thousands over , TOO much to run right if at all. It is using oil. the other two pistons hole linings are within 1 1/2 thousandth over so they will work but if I'm removing the one the other two cost about 93 bucks each. cheap at this point ? . Can they be pressed or knocked out by hand ? GT

Liners are a press fit in block, you will need a puller to remove them.
The new liners are not finished to the correct inside dimension. (they would be too easily broken when you installed them if they were) You will need to take it to a machine shop and have the sleeves bored to size after they are installed. Maybe it would be easier to just have them remove the old ones too? The engine will need to be completely disassembled.
