In my case I was going to bore the cylinders any way. So I just busted the pistons out. The cylinder walls were pitted bad. Took 3/16 of a inch to clean them up.

If your engine is not to bad, use some kind of penetrating oil in the cylinders. In the past I made a tool out of a old starter, put a nut on the shaft, bolted in place of the starter. Then turned it with a big wrench. That broke it loose.
