Hello again
For anyone who hasnt been following along: I bought a frozen 1944 farmall H a few weeks ago with a frozen motor. I pulled the motor from the tractor, put it on an engine stand, and successfully removed the crankshaft (after using a special wrench)
With the crankshaft out of the motor, I am still unable to tap out all four frozen pistons. I have now soaked all of the pistons overnight with aerokroil and both sides (Upside down and right side up). I have tried mixing ATF and gas and burning it on top of the pistons with a rag and still to no avail. I have broken 3 2x4s by trying to tap the pistons out.
The ideal goal is to save the pistons, bore hone the sleeves, and replace the rings.
Im looking for any thoughts / ideas on how to remove the pistons again. Im all out of my ideas. The pistons in fact are aluminum by the way. Once again. Let me know if you would like any pictures.

One of us would sit on the left fender (away from the clutch) and other would sit on the gas tank and hold onto the crankcase breather pipe.
