to take the piston out you ttake the backplate and cooling head off. then you stick a ziptie through the exhaust port, while the piston is at BDC (bottom dead center) then with the flywheel you grip onto the flywheel and turn it till the sleeve pops up and you can get a good grip with yuor fingers are pull the sleeve out. then take needle nose pliers and through the back where the backplate goes you tak the connecting rod off the crank shaft and then turn the engine upside down and let the piston fall out.
when you ready to put the piston back in make sure that the piston goes in the right direction the piston should have one side where it looks like this
Make sure that the paret in the red rectangle is pointed towards the front of the engine, pointed towards where the carb opening is. then lside the sleeve in CAREFULLY so ytou dont scratch it up
