What magic potion did you use to get that unstuck and out?
That's not going anywhere...

I tried various magic potions I'd read about on the internet, coke, vinager, acetone, but nothing was going to shift it even with heat applied so in the end we made a steel insert to sit on top of the piston so that pressure was applied to the sides only (that's the ring on the crown) and put it in a ratchet press. Even then it required a huge amount of pressure to move it and the BANG that came out when it finally starting moving was quite amazing.
