Default How to Remove Piston from Cylinder

A member of our EAA chapter has a cylinder from a Franklin 150 engine
(off the engine.) The piston was pushed too far up and the top ring
sprung out so it now overlaps the cylinder sleeve which locks the piston
in place.

Does anyone have a technique to get the piston out? Preferably while
doing the least amount of damage. (So no explosives, please!)

Thanks,
Paul
