REMOVING THE CONNECTING RODS AND
PISTONS
The following procedure applies to all of the con-
necting rods and pistons.
1. Remove:
• Connecting rod cap
• Connecting rod
• Big end bearing
TIP
• Identify the position of each big end bearing so
that it can be reinstalled in its original place.
• After removing the connecting rods and con-
necting rod caps, care should be taken not to
damage the mating surfaces of the connecting
rods and connecting rod caps.
2. Remove:
• Piston pin clip
• Piston pin “1”
• Piston “2”
NOTICE
ECA13810
Do not use a hammer to drive the piston pin
out.
TIP
• For reference during installation, put identifica-
tion marks on the piston crown.
• Before removing the piston pin, deburr the pis-
ton pin clip groove and the piston pin bore ar-
ea. If both areas are deburred and the piston
pin is still difficult to remove, remove it with the
piston pin puller set “3”.
3. Remove:
• Top ring
• 2nd ring
• Oil ring
TIP
When removing a piston ring, open the end gap
with your fingers and lift the other side of the ring
over the piston crown.
