Hi Bruce,
I have always had luck by either carefully whacking the m/c squarely onto a
firmly anchored piece of wood, or if that fails, using air pressure to
extract the sticking plunger.
Be careful with the air hose, though. You can build up lots of pressure and
eject the plunger at an amazing velocity. Be sure to wrap the end of the
m/c with a heavy rag to catch the plunger, and by all means point the m/c
in a safe direction before applying air!
Good luck.
