Tools Required

J 24270 Cylinder Ridge Reamer

1. Mark the piston with the number of the cylinder from which the cylinder is being removed.



2. Mark the connecting rod and the rod cap so that the rod and cap can be assembled correctly.
3. Turn the crankshaft to the bottom dead center.
4. Clean the carbon from the top end of the cylinder.
5. Remove the connecting rod nut and cap.

Notice: If there is a pronounced ridge at the top of the piston travel, the ridge must be removed with a ridge reamer before the piston and connecting rod assembly are removed. Applying force may break the piston rings or damage the piston.

Notice: Install thread protector in order to avoid damage to the crankshaft journal.




6. Remove the connecting rod and piston assembly. Push the assembly out with a suitable tool.
