If I am changing pistons and liners and not trying to save either, I just grab
the liner on each side with a couple pairs of vise grips, rotate the
crankshaft and let the piston push the vise grips and liner up to me.
If you want to save the parts, add some padding between the vise grips and the
liners and between the vise grips and the piston.
If someone wanted to get real inventive, they could manufacture a thermos
bottle type expandable plug for the piston to push on.
