Liners stuck

[mike's r5]

Hi, I am doing a rebuild on c1j engine but I am stuck with getting the liners out with the pistons still in, I have tried tapping them with wood. Any ideas how I can get them out. Thanks mike.

hi mate undo big end bolts, label caps, rods, pistons and which way shells go then if ya not reusing liners use a big screwdriver to free up mate
