Better get a Clymers manual.

[banshdog]

you mean pistons off the rods?

Pull off your cylinders and take the circlips out with needle nose plyers and knock the sleeve through and they should come off but your best bet would be to get a clymers manual first.

Yess, def. get a clymers. They explain things like this in a "step by step" procedure

i agree, definitely get a clymer's manual. it'll be the best $30 you ever spend on the shee.

there's a small circlip on each side of the wrist pin that sits in a slot in the piston. there is a small open area in the piston where you can fit small needle nose in there to pull out the clip. make sure you have some rags covering the crank opening in case you drop the clip or you'll be into more than the top end.

When you get the little c-clips off, its best not to "beat" the wrist

pins out, putting stress on the crank.

Yeh, get a clymers, they show you how to make a little tool to

get the wrist pins out too.
