Force 85 Piston removal

[hazmateer]

Does anyone have any suggestions or hints for piston removal in a Force 85. I have all the bolts out of the cylinder block (I think), but it still doesnt move. Is there something Im missing. Or is there a way to remove a piston, so i can hone the cylinder and put new rings in the piston? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yea you can remove the piston thruough the reeds(of course they need to be removed).If you do it this way make sure you get all the bearings.Count them.It's not easy but with some grease and dexterity it can be done.
If you haven't pulled the motor then you will never get it apart.J

Thanks for the info. The reeds are on the opposite side where the carbs are located correct?
