I assume you have already removed the clip and washer that hold the pushrod
into the cylinder.

Make sure the bore is clean at the mouth, it's not unusual for corrosion to
accumulate there and cause the piston to stick rather than coming out.  Then
usually, just rapping the cylinder on something (I use my wooden work bench)
with the mouth down is enough to propel the piston out.  Or a quick blast of
compressed air into the outlet port should be enough, since you can depress
the piston.  Be sure to have a rag or something to catch it, as the piston
can be launched with considerable force.
