Tim240z Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 This probably isn't the correct way, and Grumpy et al will have a coronary, but I have always just used a vise with a piece of tube (with an ID larger than the OD of the pin)and a socket or something similar to push it out. Sometimes I heat the piston a bit, sometimes it's not necessary. Otherwise take then to a machine shop. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utvolman99 Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 You really need to just take the pistons to a machine shop. The will change your pistons for about $2 a pop! Well worth not messing anything up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyvette Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 utvolman99 is correct if you don,t have a hydrolic press set up to do that job your way better off getting a machine shop to do the job for you,and not screwing up the pistons or piston pins or the connecting rods( thats one of the problems you run into when you use pistons with pressed pins, and its one of the problems you can avoid by building engines with full floating pistons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
