Account for the opposite-side circlip. Remove the
piston.
NOTE: It is advisable to remove the opposite-side
circlip prior to using the puller.
NOTE: Support the connecting rod with rubber

with new rings, note the location of each ring for
proper installation. When replacing with new rings,
replace as a complete set only. If the piston rings
