DISASSEMBLY
CONNECTING ROD CAP
Keep the bearings in order with their corresponding connecting rods (according to cylinder numbers) for
proper reassembly.
1. Remove the connecting rod cap bolts, then remove the caps and the big end lower bearing mark for
reassembly.
2. Push each piston connecting rod assembly toward the top of the cylinder.
DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMLY OF THE PISTON PIN
1. Using the special tools 09234 - 33001 and 09234 - 3002, disassemble and reassemble the piston and
connecting rod.
2. The piston pin is a press fit in the rod little end, and the piston floats on the pin.
3. The tool consists of a support fixture with fork inserts, guides, adapters, an installer and a remover. The piston
is supported in the support fixture while the pin is being installed or removed. Guides help position the pin as it
is installed or removed, while the rod is supported by fork inserts.
4. To remove the pin from the piston, place the piston in the support fixture with the rod resting on the fork
inserts. Pass the remover tool through the top of the support fixture and use it to press out the pin.
