    I need two gudgeon pins removed off rods and replaced with new pins and pistons. I have all the parts, read that I can heat the con rod and "persuade" it out, Ive tried this and im not comfortable with the heat Ive needed to use and the force ive had to use, so I stopped and decided to get somebody with a hydraulic press to do this. Does anybody know a Garage or machine shop in North Dublin that can do this? I can drop off in the morning and return in the afternoon.

    Thanks

    Put the piston in hot water, 9 times out of ten the pin will just push out by hand afterwards.
