You need to go to a car parts store, and get a repair manual for your car. They cost about $16.00 Or, go to a Public Library. Some have 2 use a hot box 2 heat up the piston & put the rod in the freezer then U should b able 2 press them 2 gethher--Some have snap rings on each end of the piston pin.IF this doesn't make sence-Find your localmachne shop.

What causes a piston skirt to collapse?
Poor lubrication. Excessive rpm's. Defective piston. Problem with the wrist pin, bushing or piston rod.
Can you replace the rod bearings without removing the crank?
In most engines, yes only if the crank is not damaged and measures correctly.
Why won't my engine crankshaft turn all the way by hand?
Try taking out the spark plugs first, because turning the crank shaft with the plugs in creates pressure. Or it could be that there is a bent rod and the piston head is in the head wall.
What are the parts of a crankshaft?
Crank journals, rod journals, flywheel flange and counter weights.
What is Connecting rods sewing machine and uses?
A rod that transmits motion or power from one moving part to another, especially the rod connecting the crankshaft of a motor vehicle to a piston. Also called pitman.
Connecting rods connect the piston to what?
The connecting rod has a "wrist pin" which goes through the side of the piston and through the connecting rod. It is one of the most critical fit parts of an engine.The connecting rod or con rod connects the piston to the crank or crankshaft!!!
What are connecting rods?
connecting rod is provided between crank and the piston,which converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotary motion of the crank.
What is the function of a con rod?
Connects piston to crank serving as an arm.
What connects the con rod to the piston?
The connecting rod has a "wrist pin" which goes through the side of the piston and through the connecting rod. It is one of the most critical fit parts of an engine.The connecting rod or con rod connects the piston to the crank or crankshaft!!!
What is the purpose of gudgeon pin?
I believe a gudgeon pin is what the British call a connecting rod pin (or wrist pin or piston pin) in a reciprocating assembly, (piston, connecting rod, crank ) It connects the piston head to the connecting rod.
What would keep the crank shaft from turning in a 1995 jeep wrangler?
A bent rod or piston arm.
What converts reciprocating motion into rotary motion in an engine?
The crankshaft and connecting rod (or piston rod).
Component of internal combustion engine?
There are many components but the most noteable are the block, head, crankcase, cylinder, piston, piston rod, crank shaft, camshaft, and flywheel.
What determines piston stroke?
Both con-rod length and shape of the crankshaft affect piston stroke
What is difference between piston rod and connecting rod?
A connecting rod connects the piston to the crankshaft - A piston rod (also called a wristpin)connects the piston to the connecting rod.
Why are crankshafts counterbalanced?
The weight of the piston, rings, and connecting rod is concentrated out at the rod journal. As the crank spins, it throws that weight around. The counterweight is on the opposite side from the rod journal to offset this weight. This is why when you replace pistons or rods, the crank is rebalanced by adding or removing material from the counterweight.
What is piston rod?
The piston rod is more usually called the con rod or connecting rod. It is connected at the top end to the piston with what is called a wrist pin. (The wrist pin is a cylinder of steel that slides through the side of the piston and through the top hole in the connecting rod.) At the bottom end the connecting rod mates up to the crankshaft. There is what is called a rod cap that goes on the bottom of the connecting rod to hold that rod onto the journal of the crankshaft. The connecting rod's purpose is to transfer downward and upward thrust between the piston and crank. The combustion of fuel drives the piston down to the crankshaft were it is converted to rotary force which drives your wheels. The wrist pin, is called a piston pin or gudgeon pin in the UK. The hole in the con-rod is commonly called the small or little end, and the other end where the cap holds it to the crankshaft is the big end.
