RE: first time engine repair
not sure how the wrist pin is held in place,but there are the following ways.
1. pressed in will need special fixture to press it out without deforming piston[fox engines ise this method]
2.just slide it out but watch the teflon or brass pads on the ends[veco,webra,os and others use this on some engines.
3.remove the wire circlips that hold the wrist pin recessed in the piston.these clips are in a groove inside the wrist pin bore of the piston.
