Is there some tool that you have to have to do this? I am sure that it is pressed in. Anyone have a makeshift easy way to remove the wrist pin? Pistons are out of the block and I really don't care what happens to them. Just need the wrist pin out.

Are you gonna reuse the stock rods, or weld the pins together and make a really cool dart gun?

Yea, just don't reuse the pistons. Try heating it and using a 1 ton shop press. That would get it out.

I just said to hell with it and pressed them out. Heat makes metal expand. Why would I do that? hahaha

They are tooled steel $$$, so I wanted to keep them. Stock piston with eagle rod.

What has the motor been though? A large force could impair the max force the rod could take without visually damaging it.
