Just finished getting my A-I unstuck. It had been left sit to long without being started. Tried all kinds of penatrating oils. Let it soak for 4 months. Rocking back and forth. Pry bar on ring gear. Pulled head and used a block of hedge wood and 4lb hammer. Weights on persuader bar used on the hand crank. Non of this worked.

Finally droped the pan and pulled the rods. Two pistons were not stuck at all, the third came loose and out without much trouble. With the crank rotated out of the way the I was able to drive the forth piston down and with the hand crank to bring the crankshaft back into contact with the rod it was easy to pust the piston with the sleeve and all out the top.

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PROJECT!!!!!!!!!
