- Heat the piston on an
electric heating plate to
approx. 60 °C and slip it
over the connecting rod so
that the arrow on the
piston head points to the
left (looking at fan cover).
- Push the assembly drift,
small diameter first, through
the piston and small end
(needle cage) and line up the
piston.
- Fit the piston pin on the
assembly drift and slide it into
the piston (the pin
slides home easily if the
piston is hot).
- Fit the wire snap rings.
Note: Use installig tools to fit the
snap rings.
