well if there stock rods you have to heat the small end to get them out, there press fit. Most machine shops will have the tools and the heater to do it right. The way your going your going to crack the piston.

they are still press fit. you need to take them to a machine shop. you don't want to risk overheating them by using a torch yourself.

way less then a new set a pistons! $100 bucks at the most..if it's a full floating pin just take the locks out but on stock rods you'll need to take them somewhere
