Press-Fit Piston Pin

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 GMC Sierra, 2004 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2004 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2004 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
  • The piston and connecting rod are only serviced as an assembly. If a new piston or connecting rod is required, a complete piston/connecting rod assembly must be used.
  • New connecting rod nuts must be used when the pistons are reinstalled in the engine.

Remove the piston rings (121) from the piston.
