jcameronh, WELCOME to the VFF!!
On the stock pistons there is a clip inside the piston that holds the wrist pin, but not knowing what you have, it is hard to tell.
Pictures would be of great help. Top, bottom, side to side would really be a help.You wana look waaay far up da road and plan yer route because the brakes are far more of a suggestion than a command! -
If you have the original center clip, then support the piston area just outside the wrist pin and press the pin down and out.
To reinstall it you need a tapered guide pin to expand the ring so the wrist pin enters it. It is a bullet shaped guide pin.Comment

I’m just short of 40,000 miles, and I’m tightening the bearings, new rings, because I overheated badly this spring. Wasn’t burning oil. Very little wear in cylinders, no ridge ect. The wrist pins have no precivable movement. My question is how long do wrist pin bushings last. I don’t know of any wore out engines I’ve pulled apart where they were rattling. I use diesel oil with zinc. Which...01-11-2020, 08:25 PM -
by Cape CodderCan someone tell me the clearance for the King Pins when installing new bushings? I don't know if there is a standard clearance needed or is this measurement just to the Model A Ping Pins....08-19-2020, 08:50 PM -
I had to do some work on the brake actuator arms which involved removing the king pin locking bolts. They were a little stubborn but I got them out. They were somewhat beat up so I bought new pins. I installed a new one on the right side lining it up with the king pin slot. It went in ok but not quite all the way flush to the axle. It sits out about .130 inches. The old one was not flush either but...04-21-2021, 11:23 PM -

by Mach.8My king pin retaining pins/bolts have been installed backwards. They were inserted from the rear of the axle and the nut/steering stop is on the front. I became aware of this when the inside of my left front tire rubbed on the brake rod during a tight turn. I figured I could just remove them and reinstall in the proper direction. I removed the nut and lock washer, reinstalled the nut loosely with...07-07-2020, 02:55 PM -
by Rob DoeI did a couple searches but didn't hit on anything, so I'm posting. I'm looking at my crooked distributor as a learning tool and possible backup unit. I'm focused on the roll pin in the upper shaft that is in the distributor. To be correct, my shaft is missing the upper steel thrust washer and maybe the bottom one isn't correct; therefore the shaft has approximately .020 up and down movement (per...05-05-2021, 10:08 AM -
The hinge pins in my delivery are a bit sloppy. The available SS ones are 1/4" and the stock ones are bit less so I'm thinking i should be able to just ream the hinges with a 1/4" reamer and be good. however, is there a technique or "process" too getting it right the first time??. I only get one chance at this. I'm thinking hang the door, with the stock pins in two hinges, line...01-20-2021, 07:22 PM -
by BeaufordIf you purchase the Kingpin kit from the two reputable sources, the felt cups are too big. If you search to buy individually felt cups they state that these are machined to the correct size as the others were bigger.(I'm certain the bigger ones are in the kit) I was putting in pins last night and with the kit felt cups and felt it will just wedge and mangle itself trying to align the spindles. Just...01-20-2018, 12:41 PM
