Default How the hell do you remove wrist pin

How the hell do you remove the wrist pin on a stock piston assembly. I don't see any snap rings or wire locks.

you expect anything less from honda? but seriously, BFH + wood. press is nice, machine shop is nicer. they do all the work, and it's cheap and quick. but i just like m BFH. it needs love, and it doesn't get enough. maybe yours needs to bang.

i don't know about anybody else, but i'm a "new pistons" kind of guy. i don't like used pistons, you know? especially since used stock pistons won't fit in my motor. i like to have new pistons oversized so i can take them with the block to the machine shop and have each bore select fit to each piston. it's just what you gotta do for perfection.
