Frozen piston

Well I finally started to do some work on my 55 clipper engine. The number 7 piston is rusted fast in the bore. I tore down the engine this weekend and was able to remove all the other pistons. The crank has some serious rust/pitting on the main and rod journals. Anybody have any suggestions on removing the piston. I poured a can of coke in the cylinder on Sat and tried tapping on it yesterday evening with no luck. Here are some pics.
