Yeah So I watched SEVERAL videos on youtube on how to remove and install. Saw what was needed to do the job, so i figured why not. Well I heated up the rod nice like the videos show, and go to quickly slide pin in. The pin went in so smooth, but I guess I wasn't fast enough. So now its installed like 80% and I have tryed to "press" it in the rest of the way. OH Im so bummed right now.

Any help fellow dsmers

heh, put the entire thing in the freezer over night. then torch the rod gently, there will be enough of a temp difference for you to finish it off. you might need to torch the rod and the piston, like with a plumbers soldering torch or a good heat gun or something.

actually put all the rest of your wrist pins in the freezer too, it will give you a lot of extra time and you wont need to heat the rod as much.
