Removal

PROCEDURE

Keep each connecting rod cap with its connecting rod so that they can be reinstalled in the correct cylinder.

1. Loosen the nuts and remove the connecting rod cap and lower connecting rod bearing insert. To protect the crankshaft journals, cover the connecting rod cap bolts with pieces of rubber or plastic tube.
2. Using a wooden block or the handle of a hammer, push the piston and connecting rod out of the cylinder.

3. Use special service tools 09234–33001 to disassemble and reassemble the piston and connecting rod.
4. Install the universal supports in the clamp between the connecting rod and the piston.
5. Insert the puller through the hole in the clamp arch.

Insert the clamp with the piston, connecting rod and puller under the press ram.

6. Using the puller, press the piston pin out of the piston.
