Sometimes in that situation, only a BFH (sledge hammer type) and BFP (steel punch) will get it out. In other words, you have to break up the aluminum piston to get it out. Try not to bang the cylinder wall, although the rust has probably messed it up pretty good already.

Of course, a cutting torch or cut-off wheel is an alternative.

Also, get it out through the top of the cylinder, not the bottom.
