PISTONS 1275 cc

[mayfam@sprynet.com]

I have some new pistons and gudgeon pins for my 1275 cc.

The gudgeon pins look like they will need to be press-fitted into the 
connecting rods.  
Also, the old gudgeon pins are currently press-fitted into the con rods 
attached to the 
old pistons and will need removing.

The Haynes manual advises that this is a job for a machine shop.  Can anyone 
advise 
whether I can do this job in the garage using a vise?  Any special tools or 
precautions?

Thanks,

Daryl
