<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Don't have to remove the piston from the wrist pin
to get the piston, and con rod out for removal of the crank....Just takes a
little patience....Its not like a YS.....it will come apart....Try going to
bottom dead center and just slide the con rod back and off the crank
pin....Viola its off....Goes back together the same way. Its a little tough but
things are sized to allow for the removal of the piston and conrod as a unit.
Just like a .46 or the .61's</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>Anyone know how to get the piston pin out of an OS 1.4RX?
Working through the exhaust port, I got the circlip out but the pin seems to
be stuck pretty good. I thought I read where the id of the pin was threaded
but it doesn't SEEM like it is. Can't see in there real well but the id feels
pretty smooth. I want to replace the rear bearing before the Nats to avoid any
possible problems.</FONT></DIV>
