Forced induction is correct. Even if it were possible to pull the liner from above, it has to be bored to match the piston and the top has to be milled off to be flush with the block. The most you could do with it in the block perhaps is a little honing to clean up the bore.

The only way to do it is to pull the motor and strip the motor.

The force required to push out the liners is incredible. I have personally done mine at my favorite machinist's shop. We use a 30 ton hydraulic press. When you are pushing it, enough force is created that you actually feel the block flexing and wonder if it will break on each liner.
