Webra 160 help

1st method is the way to go.

If the second method works - it is only because there is enough play in the conrod that the conrod (and/or possibly the wrist pin, or piston) need to be replaced.  The conrod will most certainly need to be replaced if the "pry" method is used.

One way, the way I have done it.

Pull the head and the sleeve, the sleeve should slide out; if not I put a wood dowel in the exhaust port and nudge it up using a prop installed then you can grip it and move it out. The sleeve is aluminum so use care.

Go in through the exhaust port with a narrow plier or hemostat and remove the circlip holding the wrist pin in the piston, you can do this in a baggy if you dont have a spare circlip cause the clip might get away from you. Then use one of the head bolts and thread it into the wrist pin through the exhaust port and pull the pin, this might take some force depending on how much then engines been ran. If you can clean any crude out thats in the pin area that might help. The piston will come off, the rod will fall off the crank and come out the cylinder.

An alternate way that I have heard about is to remove the sleeve and position the rod so you can pry it off the crank leaving the piston and rod together.
