Piston

Dismantling

Place the support plate under
the piston.

Tool kit 502 50 70-01

The tool kit contains, to the left, piston
ring compressors to press together the
piston rings when assembling.

The middle tool is a piston rod which

must not be used on K960.

The support plate to the right is placed

between the piston and the crankcase to
facilitate the work.

Tool kit 502 50 70-01

The tool kit contains piston
ring compressors, a piston stop,
and a support plate for the
piston.

The piston stop must not be

used on K960.
