4g15 wrist pins

[jellyfish420]

how do they come out? do they just press right out? i tried, but couldn't get them out.

they should just press out after you remove the little c clips on each side. two clips per piston. be careful if you are going to reuse your pistons, the are fragile and easy to crack

[jellyfish420]

they are not floating pins, there are no clips. they are pressed directly onto the rod. and i've got new pistons and pins on the way...i just need to reuse the rods.

heat them up a bit and oil them, then press them out

[jellyfish420]

so heat the rod, then press them w/ the rod hot?
i just want to be perfectly clear, before i screw something up.

[86stellar]

you could try heating up the pin and then cooling it quickly, then press them, if that doesnt work the heat around the pin on the rod and press it out. dont cool the rod at all, let it cool off on its own

[86stellar]

if your careful you wont screw anything up

Place the piston in hot water, and then it should come out.

When installing, place the piston and rod in hot water, and slide in the cold piston pin to get your interfece fit.

Maybe you just need a good soild drift and a BFH to get them out.

the shop wants $12 a piece and i don't think i wanna chance bending/twisting a rod.
but i appreciate all the help. thanks.

thats the best decision you could make. take them to a machine shop they are pros
