You have to heat the piston to 70-80oC for the pin to go in.

Wile you wait, you can find the front of the rod.
There will be a raised point near the crank end. (Dot) This is the front, the front of the piston is the arrow, you match them... rocket science here.
But before you put the pistons in you will want to install one of the pin things,
Grab them with you pliers
Yes i know mine arnt long nose nor pliers
...
Now after you piston is nice and steamy, bring it out and lube out the Pin with some oil, them gently tap it into the piston.
Just after it exits one side, put the rod in making sure it facing the front, then punch the pin in some more, making sure the rod doesn't fowl
Keep going until its complete inserted.
Once in reinstall the other clip and done.
How easy was that!
"Pin things" = circlips
Nice guide, look forward to the next installment.
you need to mention which variation of piston/rod combo this is. i.e early 18mm press fit, or later 20mm floating.
