You have to take the head off the engine, remove the oil pan, pull the pistons and rods out the top, then pull the sleeves. Pistons and sleeves are usually sold in sets with new rings, but not rod bearings. If the bearings are good, and the unit is not going to be worked too hard, you can probably get by without replacing them. If money is not a consideration, I would replace the rod bearings at least. If you are not much of a mechanic, that is as far as you should go. If the crank needs to be pulled, then the best way is to get the engine out on a stand, and at that point, I would replace everything that is worn as previously suggested. In a perfect world, just my opinion.
