Is there a way to do this...and do it without damaging the psitons? I've seen little pin pullers for sale (that look like small bushing pullers) but don't know how well they work. Anyone?
 
Pressed pins are not meant to be replaced more than once. I have seen some very good machinists damage a piston before doing it carefully with a fixture and a press. If the piston has enough meat and you're careful it can be done. But I dont plan on re-using pistons so I dont get disappointed...lol.
