REMOVING THE CYLINDERS AND
PISTONS
The following procedure applies to all of the
pistons.
1. Remove:
• piston pin clip 1
• piston pin 2
• piston 3
CAUTION:
Do not use a hammer to drive the piston
pin out.
NOTE:
• Before removing the piston pin clip, cover the
crankcase opening with a clean rag to pre-
vent the piston pin clip from falling into the
crankcase.
• Before removing the piston pin, deburr the
piston 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 4.
