Wrist Pin Removal 1 Year, 6 Months ago  
I am replacing a piston but I don't want to split the crankcase. I can't get the #$%##%^^ wrist pin out. In the past I have simply used a pair of sockets and a good C-clamp but this bugger is in there good. I keep reading about warming up the piston which is a great tip, but the pin is catching on the rod end bearing not the piston.....

HELP ME PLEASE

According to the manual there's a C-clip on the end(s) of the pin securing it the piston.

Thanks.

I pulled the circlips from the get go and it was free in the piston, but stuck in the rod end. I had to apply heat underneath on the top of the con rod, got it though.

Thanks guys
