since the pump is now working you don't want to try the coke trick,
but.... it's an old engine trick - you can often free stuck pistons
from their cylinders even when there is pretty heavy corrosion by
pouring coke into the cylinders and letting it sit for a while - this
would not be the first thing you would choose, but it's better than
cutting the pistons out with a cold chisel (which I had to do on my 38
plymouth).

Thanks Bill. I already filled the pump with oil, I am kind of doubtful
that it will help. I may remove the motor and try to turn the shaft
with a wrench. As for Coke, do you suggest pouring it in instead of
vacuum oil?
