My 58 Fleetwin was frozen also. I was able to get it free with out too much difficulty, and you’re correct, they are wonderful little motors. Not very much power, but great motors none the less. As for stuck Mercury’s, and other brands, I have used the Zerk fitting welded to a spark plug and a mixture of ATF and some Acetone to force the lube into the cylinder if the piston is above the port. Once you have the cylinder full add a couple pumps a day, and it will break free. This method works well, and it is less impactful instead of driving them out with a hammer. With this method, you can usually salvage the pistons as it does not damage them.
