Please post how you were able to remove the wrist pins. I just spent two hours and can not remove the pin closest to the flywheel (not to mention the circlip went flying somewhere--probably in the crankcase). Did you just rebuild the top part of the engine and leave the crankcase alone? How can I tell if the crankcase engine parts are OK?
