use a punch tho press could be a little bit heavy handed as you dont actualy realise how much pressure your putting on the gugent pin a lot of the time !!!

OEM Pistons are Press-Fit. No Circlips. i took mine to an Engine Shop and they them for me £10 a piston.
You "can" DIY, with a vice, few sockets and a tapered peice of metal
