I have received representations by pm - which could be summed up as "for god's sake change the studs" and by the way "you can take the barrels off and leave the pistons in the barrels by removing the gudgeon pins".
I know it makes sense so that is what I shall do with a certain amount of trepidation as the studs were very reluctant to come out with two lock nuts. |

You can also visually check the oil gallery plug is in place once the barrels are off. As for re-fitting, I use a strip of shim steel and a large jubilee clip as a ring compressor and have fitted many pistons (including my M900 on several occasions!) without ever breaking a ring.
