I brought a used set of low mileage 103 cylinders and pistons. When they arrived the pistons were in the cylinders. This may be a dumb question but how do you get the piston out of the cylinder? I thought the piston would just come out. I want to send the cylinders to FuelMoto for a FM 107 without the pistons. Thanks for any advise.

 

Hammer handle.

 

Like posted, with a hammer handle gently from the top of the piston down, you should be prepaired to catch the piston, it should come out really easy.

 

Thanks...I thought it would be a simple answer.

 

Just be sure that you don't use a metric hammer.

 

Lol...oh yeah I forgot about that.

 

hope rings didnt rust to the cylinders your gonna be boring them out anyway it probably wont matter, but if you were staying with 103 you may have a problem

 

Turn the cylinders upside down, spray some WD40 around the piston/cylinder contact area, flip them over, spray some at the top, let them soak a little & tap out with a hammer handle.

 

Just as most said... I tapped them out with the end of a wooden hammer handle.

 

Sorry bout that Bruce. I didn't think u wanted the pistons but I stuck then in there just in case for you.
