<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Dave, the tang on the clip
should only be about 3 1/6 of an inch long, it does not go all the way
across. You need to use some very small needle nose pliers to remove the
clip. I can be tricky though, because the clip will just want to keep on
spinning in the groove. It really is not that bad though. The inside
of the wrist pin is not threaded. Once the clips are removed you should
just be able to use a pick or small scewdriver to push the pin through the other
side. Sometimes there will be some build-up on the piston, so the wrist
pin may come out easier one way, as opposed to the other.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>HELP! In disassembling
the above engine,I have run into a problem in removing the clip holding the
wristpin in place.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The tang of the clip is so short,it seems nearly
impossible to grip it in order to remove it. According to the diagram in the
instructions,the tang should go almost all the way across to the other side of
the clip. It is almost as though the tang was broken,[like used to happen on
engines using this system years ago,such as the Kraft .61],but there is no
evidence of this.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Short of sending it to the service center,how do
I remove this clip?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Then once the clip is out,is the wristpin
threaded internally so it can be pulled out? If not,how?</FONT></DIV>
