6. Mount the piston on the connecting rod. Push in oiled piston pin as far as it will go.
Note
• A second person's help is recommended for pushing the circlip into the piston.
Cover the opening in the crankcase below the piston so that the snap ring can not fall into the
•
crankcase.
• After assembly, check that the snap ring is seated correctly via a visual inspection.
7. Push on the assembly sleeve 9500/7 with the already premounted piston pin circlip onto the piston
pin eye. Insert plunger into the conical assembly sleeve. When doing so, the smaller diameter of the
plunger serves as a guide into the piston pin. Push the snap ring into the piston pin retaining groove
in the piston using the plunger. The circlip must audibly engage.
