Hi Chris,
Thanks for that advice. it all worked out in the way that you suggested. The boiling water allowed the pins to slip out easily. As the pistons cooled I twisted the pins coated with kerosene and they freed up to the extent that I could still revolve them with my fingers when at room temperature. I think that there must have been a tiny amount of corrosion causing the interference with the pins.
Regards
Graham.
