Remove piston and con-rod assembly.
Clamp con-rod in a vise, using non-metallic jaws.
Set piston ring pliers to piston diameter.

Position pliers at piston ring gap and pry rings out
of the piston ring grooves.
Note:
The spring insert of the oil scraper ring causes
greater tangential stress.
Carefully clean piston ring with a small piece of
wood.
Avoid damage to piston ring grooves.
