Spray Penetrating Oil down into the little hole the Push Rod goes into and let it sit and soak in.
With the 30mm Plug Removed and the spring out; insert the Push Rod and turn the Pump upside down and use an Aluminum or Brass Punch against the Rod and gently tap the Piston down. That will push the Piston out until it is flush with the Plug area.
After that you need to find a skinny Punch to continue tapping out the Piston with the Pump Housing supported so there is room for the Piston to come out.
