As long as you're going to use petroleum-based goop on them anyway,
wasn't there a thread a couple of years ago that involved adapting a
grease nipple to the brake-line port and using a grease gun to
break the piston free?  (Could be my all-too-falible memory on this 
one:  Kids, don't try it at home without your parents' permission!)  ;^)

I've used this method myself, but a suggestion: First fill the cylinder with
as much water as you can first, using only the neccessary amount of grease
from the gun to do the job. Otherwise it's a waste of grease and a mess to
clean up.
