    2. Use the wooden handle of a hammer (A) to drive out the piston/connecting rod assembly (B). Take care not to damage the cylinder with the connecting rod.

    3. Reinstall the connecting rod bearings and caps after removing each piston/connecting rod assembly.

    4. Mark each piston/connecting rod assembly with its cylinder number to make sure they are reinstalled in the original order.

    NOTE:  The existing number on the connecting rod does not indicate its position in the engine, it indicates the rod bore size.

  23. Piston Ring - Remove

    1. Using a ring expander (A), remove the old piston rings (B).

    2. Clean all ring grooves thoroughly with a squared-off broken ring or a ring groove cleaner with a blade to fit the piston grooves. The top and second grooves are 1.0 mm (0.039 in) wide. The oil ring groove is 2.0 mm (0.079 in) wide. File down a blade if necessary. Do not use a wire brush to clean the ring grooves, or cut the ring grooves deeper with the cleaning tools.

    NOTE:  If the piston is to be separated from the connecting rod, do not install new rings yet.

  24. Piston Pin - Remove
