No one be sure that mice or what ever has not made a nest in flywheel housing, both front and back of flywheel, then proceed to pistons. If you are sure that is stuck piston only, not flywheel, I soak pistons(as long as six months) then use oak log and mall to bounce the pistons, along with heat. Use rose-bud on torch to heat cylinder walls and top of piston, have always been successful. once piston moves like a sixteenth of inch you are on the way. Don't try to get piston to travel all way up and down cylinder at once. Move back and forth then apply penetrating liquid and move again, if possible blow out junk with air hose. There will be lot of rust and carbon which you need to clean out as piston goes further. Once you have gotten piston to move distance of stroke it is ok to lubricate and move as you wish. Keep in mind that this is not a two hour process. I have worked weeks at time to free up engines, but it does work and I have not broken any sleeves or pistons yet.
