Ok, so I have been unable to pull the sleeve out of my Farmall A. I have tried the wood and hammer but it just keeps splitting the oak 2X4's. I trimmed a section of 2x4 so it fits the bottom of the sleeve like a puller puck would. That lasted less than 10 hits before it split. I am not trying to save the sleeve, so can I just go in there from the bottom with a punch or chisle and make it cave in on one side? Then work my way to the top?

Piston out of the cylinder?? If it is take a piece of steel plate and cut it so it fits than take the oak 2X4 and hit the living day lights out of it and it should start the sleeve moving takes is what I did to that B engine I have that has the 3.10 pistons in it

Weld a bead couple inches then it will fall out if you dont have a sleeve puller. Sometimes the only way is the seld method.

The sleeves are attached only at the top and bottom. The top is set into a recess in the head and the flange of the sleeve fills this recess.
The bottom is just a few thousandths clearance fit into the bottom of the water jacket. It has a large "O"ring that seals it to prevent water in the oil.
Make a puck, and push it out from the bottom, they will come easily with full edge pressure, or pounding. Jim

Dont sound like you have pulled as many sleeves as i have sometimes the puck just isnt enough thats why to weld.
I made my own sleeve puller for the A/B/C sleeves. I went to the hardware store and bought a steel v-belt pulley (not aluminum) that was 3 1/4" in diameter. Then I used a 1/2" threaded rod through the pulley up through the cylinder and up above the top of the studs. Then I lay a piece of steel plate with a hole in the middle to run the threaded rod through on top of the studs. Then I crank on the nut and the sleeve always comes out. You only need to move it a little ways and it comes out as the main resistance is at the bottom. Roger

Numbers may not count as much as luck. Mine were difficult, but came out OK. Some very easy, some with a 2 pound hammer. Jim
I never thought about the pulley idea. That sounds like an awesome easy way to make a puck. I ended up just using a steel rod and a small sledge hammer. I originaly was afraid of the sleeve mushrooming out and not fitting out the bore in the block. But, I found out that they will break before they mushroom.
The sleeve was a bugger to get out almost the whole way. The sleeve was pretty crudded up on the outside.
