Piston swap. Help
I will change my piston:
Is the shaft connecting the piston to the rods just forced in it or you need special tools.
Does some one has a picture showing the rods on the crank.
I mark them on where they go but I have a doubt as they are not symetrical
any special advice other than that
thanks

If there is no clips on the side of the piston, then the wrist pin is pressed on the rod and will have to be pressed out. If there is clips on the end, then you just remove the clip, and the wrist pin will slide out. This is what they call "Full Floating". IF it's OEM, then it's probably a pressed pin.
