Yes, you'll pull the cylinder off the piston.
If you look at the front of the piston, you'll see 2 lil pins in the ring grooves, naturally you'll align the ring end gaps with the pin for installation of the cylinder. The cyl will slide right on. If not, the ring end gaps are not correct. This really is easy.
A lil 2 stroke oil on the piston is a good thing.

I broke 2 of mine a while back, I had a spare used motor kicking around. and they were broke at the top of the head. so I didn't have to pull the cyl. I pulled the head then used a channel lock to unscrew the studs. when I retighted it seemed like the motor may have been stripped out. but I put on blue thread lock and let it dry and tightened it down pretty good. it runs ok. my kid rode it this past weekend for like an hour and a half (proud of how long he was forced to ride in one sitting on a long trail seeing as how he's only ridden in 10minute intervals in the past lol) and it seemed ok. I never even bothered tqing it down or checking compression. I broke it with a ft/lbs tq wrench I have another head gasket and am supposed to get one of the spare heads milled and will swap it out and put the new head gasket in and check compression then. I got cheap compression tested from an auto store a while back to see if they were blown or anything serious.
