This piston was stuck harder than any I have faced before. I used a hacksaw to cut through part of it, and as the saw blade removed metal, the saw cut collapsed and pinched the blade. This happened twice in two places, so I don't think it would have come out any other way. I have heard that as aluminum pistons corrode, they expand, and sometimes can crack the sleeves. This may have happened before I got to it, and I just made it a little worse. The other three don't look nearly as bad, fairly good actually, but are still stuck tight. They are soaking right now, and I will get back to them in a few weeks or so.
