It has been an eventful year. In October, racing at Ozarks, I missed a shift and trashed the engine in my '67 2.0L 911 racecar. I wasn't enthusiastic at my mechanic's estimated rebuild cost, and he suggested that I do the rebuild myself, using the Wayne Dempsey book as a general guide, with his assistance and specialized tools as needed. The teardown process was going well until last week. I'm a ski instructor at Breckenridge, and I destroyed my left knee. I'm currently post-op, and on crutches for at least the next 7 weeks, looking at ~9 months of rehab (they say I'll be racing in 5-6 months). So, lots of time for the Porsche engine rebuild, once I get a bit more on my feet. As I get stuck, I'd like to post in this thread and use the hive mind here for advice. Thanks to all in advance.

Here's we where we are now:
Question 1) The cylinders are all off, but I'm stuck on removing the pistons. I tried #6 first, and got one circlet off the wrist pin, but I can't slide the wristpin out of the piston. Hoping for a success experience before I went under the knife, I tried #4, but I can't even get the circlet off. I'm stuck. Help!
