    The manual calls for a liner puller. Liners come out complete with pistons which are removed once liners are out.

    The easiest way is to push the Pistons out and then use a liner puller to pull the liner. If you don't have one you can use a small hydraulic jack and some blocking to push them out from the bottom. If you do it this way I would recommend chaining the axle to the frame so you you don't get the truck lifting up as much.
