You can do the job in the car. Remove the head and oil pan. You should be able to remove them by pushing them out from the bottom to the top . Inspect the ring lands to make sure the rings are not stuck. You can remove the rings by hand. Pay attention to the way the rings are fitted to the piston, you could install the rings upside down. No need for a ring expander, you can install them by hand. Make sure the gaps are 180 out from each other on the same piston. You'll need a cylinder hone available at any auto parts store, and a good drill to drive the hone, and some engine oil or ATF for lubricant for the cylinder and hone. Make sure you use low speed on the drill and move the hone up and down in the bore. You should have a nice cross hatch pattern on the cylinder. Make sure you cover the crankshaft journal where the rod bearing rides with a shop towl to catch the grit. Don't want this crap infesting your bearings. Next you'll need a piston ring compressorto fit over the piston during installation. Be careful when taping the piston and rod into the bore, cover the rod bolts (if any) with rubber hose=so not to damage any components. Repeat for the other cylinders. Good Luck!!
