I'm not sure you would be able to removed the connecting rod nuts from below. Although I've never talked to anyone who has tried.

In any case, here is a link to the FSM:

montero2003, you can do it but it's not recommended due to cleanliness issues in dealing mostly with the bearings and the internal engine components generally.

So what happened to your piston?
