Just did this today, and I must say it was a lot easier than expected.
Dropped the subframe a little by removing the two front main bolts, and removed the oilsump. Then it was just a matter of releasing the rodbolts and pushing the piston up and out (the head was ofcourse removed ).
Removed the rods from the piston, put the new rods and bearings in and chucked the piston back in the hole. On went the lower caps and the bolts were torqed to specification.
My first time ever doing a job on the car that turned out to be easier than expected!
Isn't it beautiful:
Next job is to put the head back on. Guess I'm gonna have to call a mate, doesn't look like a one-man job :
