CAUTION:
Do not use a hammer to drive the piston pin
out.
NOTE:
• Before removing the piston pin clips, cover the
crankcase opening with a clean rag to prevent
the piston pin clips from falling into the crank-
case.
• Before removing the piston pin, deburr the pis-
ton pin clip's groove and the piston's pin bore
area. If both areas are deburred and the piston
pin is still difficult to remove, remove it with the
piston pin puller set "4".
