Usually you install the piston and rings to the barrel OFF the engine, and
install as an assy.
If the lower barell gasket is ok, then reuse, though it's best to replace
considering how cheap they are and how hard it would be to correct if it
leaks.

The stud is out! I cut the stud with a hack saw as close to the protruding
piston as possible. I then ground the stud down to get the tightest fitting
stud puller socket on as close to the block as possible.Next I applied heat
from a propane torch and as I heated the block,I applied steady even
pressure to the ratchet. It came out smoothly,with very little effort. There
appears to be no aluminum on the threads.
Now I need some different advice. Do I need to replace the cylinder
gasket? Is there a trick to sliding the cylinder back over the piston[which
is in the block]. How would you get a ring compressor to work in this
situation? Any other potential problems I should know of?
Thanks for all the advice I received. This web site is awesome! Like
having a super shop manual full of trade secrets.
