Re: [T3] Stuck Piston Pins

Warm them up and let Physics take over?  VW says to do to that way, and it did
seem to help at Jim's - he used an electric toaster ISTR.  Heated oil is another
possibility. Was it about 80 deg C (around 150F)?  Hot enough to need some
gloves to hold.

Not so easy if you're just removing pistons and barrels though!
