Remove the head and run a hone in the cylinders above the pistons, vacuum out the rust and crud and add ATF and Kerosene or Diesel to all cylinders. Remove the oil pan and then let the engine set for 24-48 hours. The cylinders that have drained of the fluid that was added to them are ready for piston removal. The ones that didn't drain, are the ones that were stuck in the first place. You may only have one or two pistons that are really stuck, but removing the ones that are not, first, makes the stuck ones just a tad more easy to remove. And for those you use the jack on the crank trick.
