What is the best way to free a seized piston? And can you use that piston again?

throw thw darn thing on the ground till it breaks loose. Then go buy a new piston and rings and rebore the jug if you have too im joking but seriously..its a lost cause to try to salvage it.

Pull the head and tap on it with a block of wood and a mallet? Piston should be toast.
