I am overhauling my old compressor - as a spare part for later. So far everything is fine! At this point I can't get any further. It's just stuck! I have loosened the screw (green) and I want to lever it out with the screwdriver (red) - but it won't work. In the video they just fall out.

Does anyone have an idea or with power`?

It needs a little persuasion 👍 be careful as the piston conrod is a little scarce to find. Ask me and @kurtjohnson10 how we know👍
 
great! So screwdriver in - 1 to 2 light hits with the hammer - turn the piston slightly and so on? All at my own risk!
 
Definitely rotate the motor & then use the screwdriver alternately on opposite sides of the crank. Also make sure you have loosened the grub screw sufficently.

It will not hurt to use some penetrating fluid, as long as you clean it thoroughly afterwards.
