If you need to ask, you prolly shouldn't attempt this procedure.

all of the wrist pins I have done I have used an appropriate sized socket, needlenose plyers and BFH to get them out. Then a rag, some 30wt oil and a vise to press them in if need be, but some you won't need the vise as they will slide right in. However, you have to be 100% certain that the pin bushings on the rods and pistons are machined to the correct clearances before putting new pins in. So in short just take your set to the machinist you took your block to (you did take the block to have at least the piston bores honed/bored matched to the new rings/pistons didn't you?) and have them press them on for you as they will (at least a good machinist will) do all of the measurements for you.

Sorry I like to ask questions. There may be a better way of doing something and I would never know if I did not ask
