You can use a regular ring compressor. Install the pistons into the bottom of the cylinders leaviing the pin bore just below the cylinder wall. Then take the assembly and install the wrist pin to the rod. Then push the cylinder in place.Dennis Sent from my Windows Phone -----Original Message----- From: Joe Luther Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2011 12:37 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Borrow ring compressor in SW Ohio area?
