But the part of the bore that is preventing the piston from coming out isn't
the part that is a sealing surface...I'd get some fine emery cloth and knock
the rust/corrosion down a bit, then pop it out with air or inertia. Should
help to keep the piston unscathed.

Jeff, t
he problem with cleaning the bore with emery cloth is holding the piston out
of the way. The spring is pushing the piston against the corrosion. I can
hold it back with a phillips screw driver but the screw driver is now in the
way of cleaning it out..
