WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove the stop screw from the base.
- Select the correct piston support for your application (See above). Fit the piston support onto the base. Place the base on press support blocks.
- Insert the press pin through the piston pin hole. Select the correct connecting rod guide pin (See above). Thread the guide pin onto the threaded portion of the press pin.
- Position the piston assembly on the piston support in the press. With the press pin up as shown, insert the guide pin through the hole in the piston and through the hole in the piston support.
- Press the piston pin out of the assembly.
- Remove the piston pin from the press pin.
CAUTION:
To avoid piston damage, the piston support must seat squarely against the piston. Verify that the piston pin will slide through the hole in the piston support.
