Help: 1988 Cadillac Deville 4.5L - remove cylinder liners

Gentlemen and Ladies,

1988 Cadillac Sedan Deville, 4.5L V8, Automatic

I am in the process of doing a re-ring rebuild with the block in place. I was
able to hone the front cylinder bank. But there is not enough room to do the
rear bank. I want to pull out the cylinder liners. I tried to pull them by hand
to no avail.

Is there a special tool to extract the line from the block?

TIA

There is a tool to remove the liner and reinstall it, this is not done in
the car on that cylinder sleeve, you might get the hone with a flex
extension of some kind from the bottom, with the rods out and the crank
turned to gain proper access.

Thanks. I called Cadillac and was amazed that they called me back. They said
that there was no tool for that engine. Just carefully pry out the cylinder. I
tried and it worked.

I then moved them one at time to the #7 hole becuase that position allowed for
easy access with the spring loaded drill hone.

So far so good.
