Sealed Power h405 new pistons. eBay purchase. pins are stuck & I soaked one of em in the solvent tank for a day or so & still stuck. should I tap it with something or soak it in something else? thank you for your time.

Will do. EDIT how hot? MORE EDIT Stump you're the man! it took the oven several minutes to get up to 300 & I took it out to check it after several minutes as I dont want to damage it & to my surprise it came out, so I stuck the rest of em (ex for the one still in the solvent tank) in there. EVEN MORE EDIT Done! (7 of em) alum sure must expand way faster (or a greater amt) than steel. That was WAY too easy.

Rallye I will do. Cab yes it was no time at all in there (I was worried that 300 was to hot) so I pulled the one out fairly quick & it was free.

You can actually expand a piston by holding it in your hands too much and warming it up! I found that out about 40 years ago working on snowmobile engines. You can also " compress" a piston with your hands when measuring if you squeeze it hard.If you put a 4" mic on a piston skirt, squeeze it with your hand, the mic will fall right off...

Alright let me do this, I will clean the remaining piston that is resting in the solvent tank & warm it up with my hands & see what transpires. The ladies' say my hands are magic so lets see if that works across the board

I haven't ever heard of needing 300 degrees F to get the pin to slide out. Usually, hot water from the tap is all that's necessary. R. Yes I was worried that I set it too high & luckily I went back in the oven pretty quick. Dog what I am gonna do is put my healing hands on it & see if that does the trick (it usually does!) then if not then hot water then the oven again at maybe 150.
