Help with piston liners

I have a 14 liter detroit and the connecting rods are larger than the liners so I can't take the pistons out to pull the liners. But I want to replace the liners.
Also the liners show very little ridge or wear that I can see from the inside but the truck does have 830,000 miles on it. Shouldn't it have quite a bit of ridge if the liners were wore?

 

Nice to know about the ridge and the crosshatches.
Only couple cylinders still showing the cross hatches.
I don't beleive I can get to the piston pins to remove the bolts, though it should be the old style. Tomorrow I'm thinking of trying to push the rods up against the liners, hoping to push the liners out. A DD mechanic told me he had heard of that and that it doesn't take a lot of pressure to get the liners out. Said that the liners are mostly just held in by the head sitting on top.

 

Found from a company called Apex. It looks like a rubber oil filler cap but 5 inch diameter. Squeezes the sizes of the liner before pulling. I just can see paying over a $1000 for it.
If my idea from the bottom doesn't work, then maybe I can find one for rent somewhere.

 

If I could get to the wrist pins and unbolt them, then maybe I can get the pistons out the top, but I don't think one can get enough room in the bottom of the cylinder. Going to check tomorrow. I've been told they will only come out with the sleeves but I don't beleive everything I'm told.

 

I apparently have the newer style pistons which connect the wristpins on the side with C clips.
So the pistons have to go up with the liners so to remove the out the bottom.
So far only way I can see is to order a special liner puller J-45876 at a cost of $948 plus shipping.
Did try using the crankshaft to push against the pistons which didn't work. Was able to hold postion but I think the crank was trying to push more sideways because with tremdous force on the front of the crank it didn't budge.

 

tried using the crank against the rod while using hammer and punch against the rod (two person job) but still wouldn't budge the liner.
Now letting it set overnight with a bottle jack pushing up against the rod to the liner. Just enough pressure so lifting the engine approx. 1 inch in the front. And I on #2 cylinder. Though this is the 1st liner trying to get out.
