I know that oem pistons need to be pressed off of the rods, but is there some specific tool that is needed for a hydraulic press to press them off?

 

yes but i have seen people do it with a hammer and torch

I would rather press them off, getting them off with a hammer and torch seams a little to me.

Anyone have a link to a place where I can get a piston pin tool for a hydraulic press?

 

Most any automotive machine shop should be able to remove them.Goodson or Sunnen should have the pieces if you have access to a press.I think Acura also has the adapters.Understand the pistons will most likely be junk after removal.

 

you might have better luck if you search for wrist pin tool, honestly if you are planning on reusing any of that stuff, just pay a machine shop to do it. its proly cheaper than the press die anyways.
