OS Piston Pin

[Verne Koester]

Troy,
Sorry about my response to Steve Maxwell. I was EXTREMELY frustrated at the time since this means I'm going to miss a practice session tomorrow in the annual Nats scramble. I apologize. Please see my response to Mike Medlin on what was happening. You were of course correct on the removal process other than the TDC versus BDC slip. Just trying to avoid all this happening at the Nats. After looking at my rear bearing, it was probably gonna happen then if not sooner.

    Steve,
    I've got the sleeve out but I can't get the rod off the crank pin to save my life. The piston is at TDC. Troy's all wet about doing it at BDC. The groove machined in the case won't allow the rod to slide off the crank pin. I assume that when you were talking about tapping the backplate on a wood block, you were describing how to get the rear bearing out. My problem is getting the piston and rod off the crank. Just won't go. I get it about 3/4 of the way off and then it's stuck.

      Verne pull the sleeve out then the piston and rod will come out together then you can push the pin out from the other side, just done mine this morning, the Webra has the threaded pin.
