Hello, I need to removal the wrist pins on 2 pistons from a 1985 johnson 4. I have devised a cradle by cutting a bottle in half then resting it in a carved block of wood. I have a manual to assist but I cant make the wrist pins budge. I have the L side up and hit my pressing pin with a hammer but i have not made them move at all.<br /><br />Can some one give me some tips to help me get them removed? I have plenty of time so any advice will be tried.<br /><br />Thankyou

I believe that you install from the side marked loose and remove by striking from the other side.
