Another way that works to free and engine pretty well (and its much easire to free up before tearing the engine down and driving the piton out with a hammer) it to cut the threads off a spark plug and then tap that threaded part out with an 1/8" pipe tap and screw a grease fitting into it. then buy a 99cent tube of grease from walmart and use your grease gun to move the piston. It applies plenty of pressure and it is spread out across the piston. I have used this many times, no hammering no straining.

yeah, did that on the front calipers of my VW bus a few years ago, it's a good tip!

Hehe, that's a slick trick. Woops.

BP Blaster is a serious unstick the rusted on bits stuff. I am sure you all must have something equal. Google it.
