Greg,
The pins are a press fit and sometimes require heating the piston to get them started on their way out. There is a special tool but a large "C" clamp or a large vise and a piece of pipe will work in a pinch.

Andy, the pistons arrived yesterday. The right looks fine. The left looks like a good ashtray.I'm not sure about the wrist-pins though. I'm used to the ones you can push out with your finger.As soon as I get the inserts I'm back in business. I cant't thank you enough, But I can send you some of my homade Texas Hot Sauce (not for the faint of heart), It will end the 5degree blues.You just say the word and it's on the way. I'm looking forward for the chance to pass on the good Karma. Greg '74 LAPD
