ok, my friends dad gave me a 97 gp760 for nothing, the catch, its been sitting for a few years and its locked up. Is there any special way i should go about this or just spray some penetrating oil between the pistons and their cylinders and try n tap the piston down with a rubber mallet? I am a total noob to skis but far from mechanically challenged. Just wondering if there is any specific procedure.
I will post pics tomorrow hopefully for all to see.

Is the head off?? is the motor or pump unit locked up. Pull the pump out first before you go ripping the motor apart.

he already had the head off, i started tearing into the pump unit tonight and as soon as i got the impeller off i grabbed ahold of the coupler behind the motor and the motor spun free. i put the head back on and now i'm stuck, i got everything off the rear and the impeller isnt frozen, its something inside. i have the bolts out of the aluminum housing below and it wont come off, do i have to take the bolts off the housing holding the bearing behind the motor??? if i put the impeller and pump back on nothing turns but once i take it back out everything turns free, im confused.

ok the impeller is rubbing the housing its in, the bearing inside the case is pretty worn out too, but i got the battery charged and it actually fired once after sitting for aa few years.
