What is the proper way to remove the wrist pin on the ST 46 once the liner is removed? I need to remove crank to send to a freind in need.

Thanks Bob , I will give it a go.

I seem to recall using two different "removers" for such a problem. Once used an "EZ-0ut" (the round-ish spiral type), and another time used a tapered piece of spruce to jam into the wristpin and push/rotate and then pull the pin out as heat was applied. Both worked.

One of the more stubborn removal chores was a rear bearing in a Taipan 2.5cc rear exhaust (Rossi .15 clone). Nothing worked, until I turned a plug of soft aluminum to fit, sawed it + with a hacksaw to form an internal expanding mandrel (with a sheet metal screw to expand it in the slot intersection). A bit of heat and some tapping on the head of the sheet metal screw worked very nicely.  Steve

One thing that helps a lot also is to not pull the liner all the way out. Lift it just enough to clear the pin.I have used a crock pot and a very small tapered file and turn the file into the pin and then pull. I also made a tool that goes through the pin and a small hook on the end grabs the pin and pulls it out. As Randy said if you do not soften the old crud it will never come out. Many ST/46's that do not run well have frozen wrist pins.It is very common.
