The booger finally is free after some persuasion from a pipe welded to a heavy axle pounded by an 8lb sledge. Pistons 1 and 2 were stuck but good, 3 only slightly so, and 4 not stuck at all. I was able to get the sleeves moving in 1 and 2 last week, just not enough to pop out. All of the rod caps became accessible for removal as the crank turned.

I'll just button everything up and go with it.
