Separating pistons and rods

Hey, can anyone help me with this? I don't want to mess them up. What is the right procedure? Thanks!

I took mine to a shop to get them pressed. It was only 30 bucks. I think you need a machine to do it.

I have the pistons and rods that came in the blown motor from my new CRX. 3 of them are perfect, and I am selling the pistons (they are 10.5:1, and I am going turbo) but want to use the rods to build my new bottom end.

I just need to get the piston off the connecting rod. It looks like there is a little retainer ring on either end of the piston that keeps the pin from sliding out. Do I need to have it pressed out, or can I do it myself?

Also, does anyone know if the rods are the same from the D16A6 to the D16Z6?

Thanks guys!

ok my ls bottom end is a fucked up, needs crank and rods, but the machine shop i took my piston and rods too said they couldnt take the pin out because it would collapse the pistons and that i will need new ones.

is that true or is the shop trying to rip me off ?
its a 90 ls motor

if they are liked melted and shit it could prolly happen.

they arent selling you the new pistons so i doubt they are trying to rip you off, your better off getting new ones anyway.
