New Piston Pin Puller! (Pics)
When I pulled out my Piston Pin Puller that I had bought in the Early 70's I had a problem! The hole was too small. I thought about turning out a .125 then a new tool. Kawasaki wants over $400 for their tool (Which is over $225 dealer) and knew I had to do something. I went to a company called "Starting Line Products" in Iowa and got this tool for $39.95 After a little work with my Hack Saw and a File, here is what I now have.
The problem is the puller will press on the ring land.
Thanks "Again" To Bergie and his web site

Hell Vincent, many pistons have been removed with nothing more than a punch and hammer. This technique gets you a new set of rods to go with those new pistons! ROFLOL.

Actually I use a 3/8 inch extension and a Plastic Face hammer to keep from damaging the Extension

My Old one looks just like this but has 2 threaded "T" Handles for very small pins.

Are they really that tight? I used to push the pins of my 88 ZX10 with my thumb. Sometimes, needed a little coaxing with a socket.

Sometimes you can just push them out, but when you cant, you do not want to do anything we have listed above. On the 2 stroke roller cranks and Old Z-1 Cranks, they could take a little abuse, but do you really want to knock out the pin with a Hammer?

If you need that tool to take them out, I hope you're not putting them back in.

"NOPE"! Only one wrist Pin was stubborn, the one you are looking at! A little clean up of the Small end and a special set of Pistons and Pins for the heavy load of NOS I plan to try!
My theory is, if you have everything you need, you will usually not need it!
