Looks like the studs are sticking in the cylinder through holes. Anybody have any tricks to pulling the cylinder off without breaking the ears at the bottom like I did with the 1st cyl? Special Puller?

I usually just give a light tap all around with a rubber mallet to loosen it then lift it right off.

I believe he is talknig about the ears on the bottom of the cylinders that slide in the crank case. I could be wrong though.

PUT A SHOT OF WD-40 DOWN THE HOLES WHERE ITS HANGING UP AND LIKE THESE GUYS POSTED , TAP IT WITH A RUBBER MALLET. 3:16 (yammie tony)
jig-a-loo and rubber mallet.
Sometime light twisting with a piece of wood cut to barely fit down the cylinder (need to drop the piston to the bottom of the stroke) helps.

2 hours of tapping up and down with lots of Pb Blaster, one more to go. Sled sat for a long time outside, everything is seized up. You are correct with the ears I was speaking about, the part that slides into the crank case.
Thanks, for the advice.

Yep sometimes pb blaster needs to sit for a bit. I've also had good luck with liquid wrench.
