<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I agree totally with Dave's statement, if you don't
use method 1 below you will damage the conrod!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>BTW, I have had a couple of engines that required
"some force" to remove the wrist pin, and others that required more force than I
could provide. This lead me creating a simple tool to pry the wrist pin out. Get
a long 4 mm screw and a butterfly nut and thread it through a hard flat steel
rod. Screw the end of the 4 mm screw into the wrist pin and then turn the
butterfly nut down against the steel rod that is against the exhaust port.
To protect the side of the piston I also put popsicle sticks between the piston
and the inside wall of the crank case. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>
<DIV>1st method is the way to go.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>If the second method works - it is only because there is enough play in
the conrod that the conrod (and/or possibly the wrist pin, or piston) need to
be replaced. The conrod will most certainly need to be replaced if the
"pry" method is used.</DIV>

<DIV>One way, the way I have done it.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Pull the head and the sleeve, the sleeve should slide out; if not I put
a wood dowel in the exhaust port and nudge it up using a prop installed then
you can grip it and move it out. The sleeve is aluminum so use care.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Go in through the exhaust port with a narrow plier or hemostat and
remove the circlip holding the wrist pin in the piston, you can do this in a
baggy if you dont have a spare circlip cause the clip might get away from
you. Then use one of the head bolts and thread it into the wrist pin
through the exhaust port and pull the pin, this might take some force
depending on how much then engines been ran. If you can clean any
crude out thats in the pin area that might help. The piston will come
off, the rod will fall off the crank and come out the cylinder.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>An alternate way that I have heard about is to remove the sleeve
and position the rod so you can pry it off the crank leaving the piston
and rod together. </DIV>
