Replacing pistons
« on: February 03, 2010, 01:58:04 PM »
I need some new pistons, one of mine blew up. I saw a guy at a shop remove them from the rods by hand very easily, but the rods were out of the motor. Is there enough room on the cb750 to remove the pistons while still connected to the crank?

Hi you will have to take the engine out of the frame to remove the top end of your engine before you can get to the pistons  ;), cheers Mick.

Ive gotten that far, I have the jogs off too, just wondering if I can get the pistons out with the rods still connected to the crank.
