1. Remove the piston rings from the pistons.





2. Press the pin from the connecting rod by using J 24086-C.
The piston pin has an interference fit into the connecting rod and is full floating in the piston.





3. If the bearings will be reused, place the bearings in a rack in order to ensure reinstallation with the original connecting rod and the cap.
