Daniel,
I just did 2 pistons last week.  Propane torch on the
rods for about 15-20 seconds really, really helps.  I
used an arbor press, one fairly rapid tap, then press
right out. I've done it many times with 2 sockets and
a vise.  For re-installation, I stuck the pins in a
freezer for a few hours, and cooked the rods in an
oven at 400F for an hour.  The pin damn near drops in
with that combination. 

Funny, I have a few sets of rods, they're all the
Cooper S rods, no matter what they came out of!
