thanks for your advises they must have had some tool I reckon to take the pain out of the job, i remember trying to fit from the bottom before it started to work then the block wobbled about so I then gave up and did it the hard way.it would make the job so much easier if you could slip the block off fit a new set of pistons slip and new one on.
i was shown a set of piston ring clamps the other day which where able to wrap around the pistons and then clamped with ratchet plyers once the piston is fitted it can be unwrapped and slid out i may have a go do some swearing give up and do it the hard way i will see what happerns and let you know cheers dave
