Cannot start MS260

Thank you HMan. I used a small deep socket and for the last few mm a 1/4" extension bar. Here's some pics, in case this ever becomes useful:

Go Eagles btw

So I thought the piston only came with 1 wire circlip, but it turns out that the other one is pre-installed. (What will I do now with my new box of circlips from amazon lol?)

The wrist pin pushes in very easily - think one ounce of force. No tools needed in this case.

Having a bit of trouble getting the rubber inlet pipe onto the cylinder. Should I bolt down the cylinder head first, and then try to push on this pipe, or vice versa?

Note to self: next time when removing the fuel line from the carb, do this outside of the house.

I put it on the cylinder first and then tie a piece of masonry twine around it to pull it through the hole in to the carb housing.
