Greetings Bob!
I have heard of the grease gun method, although I've never tried it myself. As to soaking the cylinder(s), a friend of mine recommends a 50/50 mixture of laquer thinner and brake fluid to break the bond between the rusted cylinder and piston. Again, I never tried it myself, but he claims it works well. If you try it, let the rest of us know whether it works or not.
