Subject:removing piston pins from 2.1L waterboxer
From:Tom and Deb Runyon

I am having trouble removing the piston (wrist) pins on the flywheel side (cyclinders 1 and 3) of a 2.1 L waterboxer.  Last time I did it, I made a tool out of "all thread" but this time, I can't figure out how to remove the circlip from pins 1 and 3 nor how to remove them w/o the special tool listed in Bentley.  Any thoughts?
