Heat up the rod with a blow torch and press them out with a press. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

Personally, I'd send them to a machine shop to R&R because it's not something you'd really want to do yourself if you've never done it before. To elaborate on the technique... you don't want the rod red hot because warping can occur if too hot or if the rod cools too fast. The pistons being removed will not be re-useable nor will the wrist pins. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

I took mine to a machine shop also when I rebuilt my 7A. They didn't charge me anything, though. It was too easy for the old dude.
