Question Piston removal

I know the front pistons can be removed by accessing the gudgeon pin through the blanked off holes at front of motor, But what about the rears? I'm assuming that the gearbox will have to be removed/disconected to get access to the rear ones.

Anyone??????????????

Already got the heads off, but was hoping I could get the pistons out without breaking it down.

Always has to be the rear cylinders doesn't it!

flywheel off the remove the two plates and you will see the same type of allen key blanking plates. then you just turn the engine till the gudgeon pins line up with the holes and with a pair of long nose pliers remove the retaining ring and knock the gudgeon pin out
