Ive just had to remove 1 myself coz of a buggerd conrod and the best way to do so is to heat up the pin and to knock it out, just be careful not to damage piston head i used a soft bit of wood underneath the piston while i knocked it out! Mine took sum knocking to get out.

i used both lol:haha:

 

[fred]

blow torch jobbie then?

 

[turbojim]

different strokes for different blokes bud like i used both but i had other people tell me use just the one its watever you think yourself but if using a blow torch the whole point is to heat the rod but try not to heat the gudgeon pin as you want the rod to expand but the pin to stay the same
