I'm pulling the pistons out of my W6 & they're pretty oxidized. The rings are rusted tight in their grooves & the pins are stiff. Is there a way I can pull the rings & pin without doing any damage? What about cleaning the corrosion off the piston heads, themselves? No carbon, just corroded from sitting. The owner passed while working on overhauling the tractor & it was never completed. It sat half assembled, for years, before I got it. I understand they probably won't shine like new when I'm done, but I don't want dirty pistons in a fresh overhaul, either. Thanks - Mike
