Ok, if you're gonna be that way about it.
Try this:
If that piston is stuck real bad a friend of mine
puts
a plate over the hole where the head would go. The
plate has a grease zerk tapped into it.
Then he just pumps it full of grease!!
Those grease guns can put out 10,000 pounds of
force!
The grease is too thick to run out anywhere.
He uses this technique to remove pistons from his
old
one lungers, they take a LOT of grease!
