[QUOTE="David Trustrum, post: 107435, member: 21529"] I generally use a ball ended allen key of the correct diameter. Make sure the piston is supported before you tap on it or you may bend the conrod which will ruin your day. If it is a little tight you can gently heat the piston by wrapping it with a rag dipped in hot water & wrung out. When you put the piston back in make sure the sharp edge at the circlip hole is de-chamfered a bit to stop the next one snagging on the way out. While you are at it you could take some time to remove sharp edges over the rest of the piston. This removes any stress raiser points. Maybe a bit pedantic I know… Don’t re use circlips! I would be careful of using anything too sticky in needle roller bearings as you don’t want them to skid at any stage or they will wear flats on the rollers. I just use 2 stroke. That’s what they will be fed the rest of their life, it’s not like they are cams being started up dry on plain bearings. A good finger full in the bearings & a light smear on the piston esp near the ex port. As soon as it starts it will be fed new oil. New parts, what a great feeling. Enjoy. [/QUOTE]
