I've used Naval Jelly to dissolve the rust, then used 50/50 Acetone/ATF to free the rings & piston. Removed the oil pan, removed the rod cap on the bad cyl. and removed the piston. Smoothed out the cylinder with a Cylinder Hone; cleaned up the piston and removed the old rings. Checked the condition of the bearings & if OK, re-installed the piston with a new set of rings.

This was on the engine in a pickup, and I had everything to do the job (including new head gasket) except the new rings.
