    Hey everyone i am trying to rebuild a few motors and i cant find anywhere to get the special tool to remove the wrist pins/ piston pins so i can split the case. Does anyone know where i can get one from or have one i can buy?

    use a needle nose pliers to take out the clip. and use a long skinny rod to push them out from the other side.

    .25" steel rod bent in a vice works well.

    You need to be able to hit it with a hammer of some sort to pop it a bit. They can get pretty varnished in there.
