It may be easier to pull the top cap and then pull the liner - I think that is how Strick did one of his (20?). Based on all the cracking you have seen so far, the putty between the liner and stringers may be kinda weak now. It looks like you have a good shop to work in so that helps. If you get the liner out in one piece, you can probably flip the liner over and work on the deck from the back side. If you end up doing it that way, remember to have a set of work braces holding the hull in shape while you are working. If I remember right you had it redone a few years ago so I'm guessing you don't have to mess with the transom.
Good luck - at least the outside still looks great and it will be much stronger when you are done.
