Piston Pin Replacement

  1. Remove piston and rod assembly as previously outlined. Remove circlips and drive out piston pin using a suitable driver (A.60251).
  2. Check fit of pin in piston. Pin should be push fit in piston and should not fall through under its own weight. There are two classes of piston pin and piston bore sizes. If piston pin is replaced it must be replaced with a pin of the same class. Class of piston is stamped on bottom and class of pin is stamped on face of pin.
