Default Pulling Pistons from Flywheel

My bud just got his old broken parts back after an engine rebuild and wants to use the pistons for some art work. Is there a way to remove them from the flywheel without a special tool? He wants to keep the pistons connected to the connecting rods.

EVO would be the easiest and the t/c a fair bit harder. But yes with a hyd press for the t/c , and a lead hammer for the evo. you can knock them apart. The t/c crank pin is very impressive in size compared to a evo crank pin.
