Piston Pin Removal

First time removing pistons - I heated up the cylinder with the small butane torch (per the Clymer) but the pins don't seem to want to budge. I definitely do not want to do this wrong. Just wanted to verify the correct/best way to remove the piston pin. Appreciate all the help!

The Clymer makes it sound like it should be simple without the tool, though.

Did you take the circlips out?

Doh!

Total noob mistake here...

Thanks for taking the time!

take em out and take a socket the size of the pin and gently tap it out. ymmv

Thanks again - I remember seeing them. I was pretty hesitant not wanting to destroy anything, but I didn't see them mentioned in the Clymer and haven't ever gotten this deep in an engine before. I'll give it a try!

Thanks - that was exactly what I needed! Got all but one off without having to heat it.
