d. Protecting your eyes with safety glasses, disengage
and withdraw the snap rings. Although mechanics
generally press out (and sometimes hammer out)
pistons pins, these practices should be discouraged.
Instead, take the time to heat the pistons, either with a
heat gun or on a hot plate. Pins will almost fall out.
e.
While the piston is still warm, check for bore
integrity. Insert the pin from each side.
If
the pin binds
at the center, the bore might
be
tapered;
if
the bore is
misaligned, the
pin
will click or bind as it enters the
\ far boss.
\
NOTE:
The number
stamped
on the rod shank and cap should
1\
correspond to the cylinder number. Sometimes these numbers
are scrambled
or
missing,
and
the mechanic
must
supply
l them. Stamp the correct numbers on the pads provided
and,
l,tO
prevent confusion, deface the originals.
