Anybody know where I find the special tool that removes and installs piston pins.
Thanks,

I don't think this is available to the general public.


I'm looking right now

I have a lead

Make your own.

Buy $3 flat head screwdriver at Walmart, heat end up until you can bend it over to 90 degrees(making a hook) grind away any left over screwdriver tip, you want about 1/8''-3/16'' of hook on it. Plus, it has a nice comfy, gripy handle.

looks like these guys sell the oem tools for subaru, but i think you have to be a dealer to order from them. maybe you could order through a dealership?

They sell to the public

picks dont always work. on my block with 70k or so i had a dealer use the tool, it literally took all this guy had with the slide hammer to pop these things out...works sometimes, not all the time.

Video I made. This is for ej22 and ej25 only though, because the WRX 2.0 has those funky pins....

That is what I was told by someone local who rebuilt a subaru motor.

He said the special tool with slide hammer was a must.

Maybe I will get lucky with my low mile motor.

I wish my pins were that easy! how many miles were on that motor when you did that?

Knowing reddevil not many :) He does a lot of engine tinkering.

Getting the pins out of both my EJ22t and the EJ25 Phase I motor would have been a gigantic pain without the slide hammer.
