Hi guys,

I am rebuilding my 1275 a+ engine and need to get my old pistons off the conrods. Does anyone know how to get the gudgeon pins out without a special tool? the interference fit ones, or does anyone have a tool to lend me? (DERBY area)

Cheers,

Andy

I gathered you were supposed to use a press however i don't have one! is there a way to do with with more simple methods? or Would you like to lend me yours! HA

I'll remove them for you if you wish to travel down...

Has anyone else got an idea how to get these out, without using a press or a tool cause i don't have one.
Any local help would be appreciated if you're gonna offer lol (DERBY)

Most garages/machine shops will charge you like a fiver (beer tokens normally) for doing this kinda thing.
