12. Remove the eight nuts (with lock washers and washers) securing the cylinders to the crankcase; then using a rubber hammer, gently tap the cylinders and remove from the crankcase by lifting them straight up off their studs. Account for gasket(s) and any alignment bushings.

DO NOT use any type of punch to drive the piston pin free of the piston; damage may result. Use a piston-pin puller only.

15. Lift the pistons clear of the connecting rods and remove the small-end connecting-rod bearings (account for two washers); then remove the piston rings. Keep each piston with its rings; keep each piston pin and bearing together as a set.

! CAUTION When removing a cylinder, be sure to support the piston to prevent damage to the crankcase and piston.
