Snip

Using a heavy hammer, I pounded the other end 
of this 2" x 4" until  the piston came out.
Now, I have to get rings freed and clean up the  piston.
Several people on the SmokStak Chat Room advised me on how to  proceed with 
the above effort.  Without their input and encouragement, this  piston
removal 
exercise wouldn't have happen so fast and with no breakage.

Score one for the good guys!

Congratulations upon your success, Francis.  Thank you for describing the
technique.  I'll file it for future reference. 

Keep us posted on your progress.  Restoration stories are a big part of our
hobby.

Best regards,
