You will find than one maybe two of the pistons are frozen to the rotate the crank out of the way and steady the rod so it is held vertical. A chain or wood blocks should work for this. You don't want it to rack back and forth loosely in the block. Remove the bearing and use a 2x4 between the rod saddle and a hydraulic jack on the floor.

It is as simple as it sounds.....Good luck and be careful. This will insure you don't damage your transmission, tires, etc.
