Stuck F-20N - What Next?

Posted by Tony on October 20, 2003 at 09:47:36 from (148.59.233.243):

I know I am asking a much asked question, but I am trying to get my F-20 unstuck. I soaked it in penetrating oil, etc. for over a year. I have not been able to get it to budge, either using the crank or by rocking the wheels (one wheel is hard to move as it is though). A couple of the cylinders look pretty bad, both from above and below. Everything else looks good though.

Yesterday, I dropped the pan and (pardon my lack of correct terms) took off the 2 nuts holding the rods to the crank shaft and also removed the lower part of the rod (the part held on on the bottom of the crank by the nuts). I was hoping I could work on each piston individually in order to minimize damage to the crank by using force.

But I do not see a way to remove the rods without removing the crank, which i am sure is quite a project. Any hints on what to do next or how to apply pressure/force safely in its current state?

You can view the project at the link provided (not updated for recent work).

Thanks!
