Is the "guy" a friend or a customer? First, what are the trumpets owner's expectations? The reality is that there is high likelihood that this trumpet will never play again. If the owner is expecting the valve to be restored to working condition, he will be disappointed. If this is a paying job for you you have to manage his expectations.
Trumpet valve pistons are thin tubing that is then has the ports (the valve passages) soldered or brazed in. Then the piston is often plated then honed to fit the casing. The casing is thicker brass with stub tubes brazed on to match the ports. The rest of the tubing is soft soldered together.
The existing piston is corroded in place. First I would soak it in penetrating oil for as long as I could stand - maybe a week or so. Then you could try to drive the piston out with a fitted drift. You could make one to fit snuggly in the casing. It needs to fit tightly in the casing. You want to push on the walls of the piston, not the bottom cap of the piston. You push up from the bottom, NOT the top. There is a keyway in the side of the casing and a closely fitted key, the valve guide, that keeps the valve from rotating. This keyway only goes part way down the casing, so the piston will only come out the top.
You can tap on your drift and hope that the piston comes out without too much damage. But on old instruments it is unlikely.
You could take this to another instrument repair technician. One place to find one would be to check the National Association of Professional Band Instrument Repair Technicians (NAPBIRT) website. They have a website with a tech locator:

You could also talk to local school band directors and get some recommendations.
I do this professionally. I would expect that it would take an hour or more to just get it apart. I would not expect it to be playable. If the owner is looking to restore it to playing condition, it will be expensive. The valves will probably need to be rebuilt by plating the pistons, then honing the casings and the pistons to fit. If the trumpet is a valuable antique, you can reduce its value with an inexpert repair attempt.
Sorry to sound negative, but this is work where you have one chance to get it right.
