Is the piston considered bad when...

Well Woodsy, we must be psychically linked! While you were posting this, I came up with almost the exact some solution minus the duct tape. I couldn't give two Hondas what happens to the piston...it's pretty much a paper weight now. I used a 6" 3/8" drive extension with a flat piece of steel across the end (to push on) and then drove the whole thing out with a big 12" C clamp. The one thing I did before that was to brush some Easy-Off oven cleaner onto the ends of the wrist pin to break down any carbon buildup that might be trying to keep the pin in. It worked great! So now it's time to put in a new piston kit and get to back to my normally scheduled program....Roostin'! Thanks again one and all.  :D
