I have a leaking cylinder base seal which needs to be replaced. So, with everything on the engine removed to facilitate the withdrawal of the cylinder, as yet I haven't been able to budge it. I can wriggle it very sightly, there is movement! But it refuses to come down.
I haven't and won't attempt to use anything to prise it out. It has been suggested that I pressurise the cylinder, with air (with both the valves closed) and hopefully force a downward movement of the cylinder.
Has anyone employed this method? Or does anyone have any other suggestions?
