STIHL 029 piston

[nmurph]

Well I checked the piston and it appears to be the exact same as the one I removed from the saw. However I checked the bearings and they both wiggle side to side, so I seems that these need to be changed. How do I remove the old bearings?

Lateral movement in a bearing is expected. Movement up and down is a bad thing.
