Let it soak in penetrate oil and dont be afraid to use some heat. i got the cylinder off of the 250r that float a while in salt water and then sat for 6 months. It took alot of oil, some wedges and alot of patience

lol, my dad had a xr350 with a siezed piston from sitting, it took month of soaking to get it loose, and even then your looking at a rebuild of the top end.
