Liner Removal

[TJCallahan@domain.elided]

OK, so here's my first concern in the rebuild of the Alfetta engine - how is 
the shop supposed to remove the liners from the block? My previous (but 
limited) experience tells me the liners are fairly loose unless corroded or 
glued in. That is, once the head is off, of course.

I went to see the work in progress and it seems they haven't removed the 
liners from the block yet. When I tried moving the liners with my fingers, 
they seemed pretty stuck in place.

Can the collective wisdom of the AD tell me:

a) Are they supposed to be stuck tight in the block?

and 

b) How best to remove them if they are stuck?

Remember, we want to reuse these as the crosshatch and measures are all 
pristine.

TIA,

Tom
