Piston question

Does anyone know if you can remove and replace #3 piston in D16y8 engines without dropping the crank?

Re: Piston question

You can slide it through the crank if you drop the oil pan but it'd be a royal pain to get the piston back in, but getting the rings compressed so the piston could be re-installed would be practically impossible. Better off doing it the right way.
