I will offer the caution that on some engines, you will find that using the remove the wrist pin method, the wrist pin will not just slide out. Do not hammer it out. You have some leverage from the wrist pin end of the connecting rod into the big end of the connecting rod and you do not want to damage the bearing at the big end. If you run into this, and you are willing to remove more baffling to get space to work, you can rig up a two jaw bearing puller to gently push the wrist pin to get it moving.

Best of luck,
