Am repairing a ASP .46 for a friend and had trouble removing the con rod from the crankpin. There is a clearance groove in the bottom of the crankcase for the con rod, which makes it diffcult to remove it. Normally I would remove the liner and place the piston at BDC and the rod would come off easily, but with this clearance groove the lower part of the rod can't come out. I did finally manage to get it off using an allen key as a pry bar, but there must be an easier way I"m not seeing. Any suggestions, thanks. red
