Easy way is to remove the cylinder head and the oil pan. Then unbolt the cap on the lower side of the connecting rod, then slide the piston out of the top of the engine where u removed the head. Its alot more work than most people think.

How do you make a simple hydraulic?

Take a tube, put a piston in it, seal off both ends of the tube, and use a liquid, or gas to put pressure in and remove pressure from the tube. As the fluid or gas goes in the tube, the pressure pushes the piston out. As the pressure is released, the piston can recede.


What is the function of a piston rod?

It connects the piston to whatever the design calls for the piston to push or pull on. In a combustion engine, the piston rod connects the piston to the crankshaft, turning linear reciprocating motion into rotary motion.


If one piston moves 10cm how far will the large piston move if the small piston has 100 N going down?

1000cm


How can you increase the force a hydraulic device produces without increasing the size of the force you apply to the small piston?

You reduce the diameter of the small piston. Or reduce the diameter and increase the travel of the small piston if you want the large piston to maintain it's previous range of travel.


What is the relation between the movement of the piston and the movement of the crankshaft?

In essence, the the displacement of the piston is porportional to the sine of the phase of the crankshaft. this isn't quite true but it gives a rough idea of what is happening. if you meant what happens in one cycle of a piston/crankshaft then it is essentially this: as the piston moves down it forces the crankshaft through one half of a revolution and then on the way back up the piston forces the crankshaft through the remaining half of a revolution - back to its start position to start again

How do you remove piston from 80 cc moto 4 Yamaha?

to remove the piston, you need to remove the carb and intake. You will then remove the 4 acorn nuts from the top of the cylinder head and the 2 bolts on the left side of the head. You can then remove the cylinder head and slide the cylinder up off of the 4 studs while insuring the piston is sliding out the bottom of the cylinder. Also take care in making sure the piston and connecting rod do drop against the studs as it exits the cylinder. To replace the piston, simply remove the cir-clip from either end of the recessed area in either side of the piston and you should be able to push the wrist pin from the connescting rod and piston. It is recommended that you replacee the cir-clip with a new one upon reassembly. And of course, you should reassemble with new head and cylinder-to-block gaskets.
