IF, as it sounds, she's good and stuck you might try judicious use of a drift and hammer.
Were it mine and it was time for a hammer, I'd stand it up in a vise, with the yoke end of the piston resting on top of the jaws, and the yoke dangling below. It will need to be a loose fit, as close as you can get without the vise holding the yoke tightly. Then proceed to beating on the threaded end, with either a drift (of smaller diameter) or chunk of hardwood so as to avoid damaging your thread.
If that doesn' t do it, you might also try a variant of the trick of first giving a short tightening twist to a stuck bolt to help loosen it. Drill a hole in your bench or a pice of hardwood you can set on the bench. ?The hole should be large neough to accommodate the thread. Stand the whole affair up so that you've supported the inner end of the piton, and apply a few healthy raps tothe end of teh yoke, then proceed with step 1, trying to drive it back out.
If it's bound by rust and crud, it is far more likely to have worked its way in from the yoke end, so a thorough application of your favorite penetrant from that end might also be helpful.
