ACS Piston Pin Removal Tool
MFR Model# PT171
Overview
| This tool takes all the work and risk out of removing the piston pin. It works on most Lycoming and Continental engines. Just slip it over the piston, turn the shaft and it pushes the pin out smoothly and cleanly. Vinyl coated tip prevents scratching and marring the pin or piston during removal. Will handle up to 5.5" pistons. |
Specifications
- 2 lbs (1Kg) shipping weight.

This tool worked as well as expected in removing piston pins from an O-320. The big advantage is there is no side load put on the connecting rod.
Just tried it on a O320 and it worked great.
Good tool, like many good tools, required a slight modification to make it better. Used to remove E-225 5 Piston from right rear cylinder while still on aircraft. Tool wouldnt quite fit as delivered, as it was up against the adjacent cylinder barrel. Drilled additional holes further down the band and was able to get it into position and had the pin out within minutes.
O-360 A1D narrow deck, used for removing piston pin from #3, very difficult with #1 cylinder installed. Plastic cap on end of bolt separated from the bolt on 1st attempt. Managed to get it started but it stopped due to the large hole on the band not lining up properly over the piston hole. Take it all apart and have to modify the band holes on wooden block end to allow band to move around some. Had to use a nylon dowel plus the tool to get in all the way out. It worked, but space is a concern and I had to improvise. Quality is OK. All the above is why I rated it average.
