I'm trying to split the rod and pistons. But there a pressed fit. So do i need to heat the little end up and knock the pin out?

The small end of the rod needs to be heated up and the pin to be pressed out but there is always a risk of you breaking the piston.

As said not best done DIY, I do mine with an ELECTRODE HEATER, but still a risk, best to pay a few notes to machine shop IMO.
