Piston removal
How easy is piston removal? Anyone have procedures from the service manual? (I need to get one of these soon). I have heard that they can be removed by removing the C clips through a port in the block. Is this true? If so accessing the center pistion must be a B***.

Removal
It seems like I have heard that you need some long thin C clip removers. Then remove the access plugs in the side of the engine. Then rotate the crank until the clips become visible. Remove the outer pistons first then the inner pistons? I believe there is a special tool to remove the pin. Then also there would be the actual removal of the piston. Maybe we can push it out from the pan?

you have the procedure down correctly. There are access holes on either side of the block, remove inners then outers, pistons will fall out. I didnt use actual circlip pliars but it would have been much easier.

I'm not sure how relevent this is, but HERE (especially page 2-3) is a good write up, and photo's of a hand made pin removal tool that was done for an XT6.

So to remove the center piston piston clip you just need some really long pliers?

Question
In thinking about the procedure to remove the circlips. I can see how the outer circlips could be removed. But how to get to the other side? Do you have to reach through the pin itself to get to the clip?
