I have a T25 1.9dg (1989), and I need to take the pistons out (as oil in chamber). How do you remove the gudgeon pin as can't find the tool mentioned in Haynes anywhere. Any advice please,

Thanks

There is an offical tool but this works just as well ( probably can't buy the tool either anymore)
It's an M8 Rawlbolt with 18 inches of studding, 60mm of M8 washers, a nut to clamp the rawl bolt, a large socket to use as a slide hammer if needed, a large washer to hold the socket and two nuts tightened together to allow you to hold the studding while you tighten the rawl bolt.
