Uh, yes you do.

Remove the rear wrist pin retaining clip, clean away any carbon 
buildup from the aft wrist pin access hole in the piston, and then 
thread one of the head screws into the wrist pin.  Grab the screw 
head with some pliers and pull - HARD.  The key to this is lightly 
scrapping away any carbon buildup from the aft wrist pin hole on the 
piston (I use an X-Acto knife to do this).

It's not like the OS where you can remove the rod from the crank pin 
without removing the wrist pin.
