Cylinder Block — Disassembly of the Piston-Connecting Rod Unit (D15B, D17A) (Honda Civic 7)

1. Check the fit of the piston-piston pin joint. If the connecting rod does not drop under its own weight, replace the piston, connecting rod and/or piston pin.



2. Replace the entire assembly if necessary.

a) Using a special tool, remove both compression rings.



b) Remove the oil scraper ring elements manually (scrapers and ring expander).

Note: Place the rings in the correct order.

3. Using a press and special tools, press out the piston pin.

Note:

• If necessary, mark the piston and connecting rod to ensure proper assembly.
• Do not disassemble the piston and piston pin.
• Lay out the piston group parts in sets.
