MS200T rings

[wicklamulla]

i'm trying to slide the cylinder down over the piston and rings but i can't get the second ring to go up into the cylinder. Any helpful tips please ?

Cut a strip of aluminium from a beer or coke can and use it as a DIY ring compressor.

 

There'll no doubt be a YouTube tutorial on how to do this...

Or use the Stihl tool made for the purpose.

I used to rock the cylinder toward the closed end of the ring and then pop the open loose end in with a small screw driver on most saws - easier on a single ringed piston.

 

I was given some spring compressors by Burrell some time ago and have since used them with success!
