Soak them with penetrating oil. Then use a lot of elbow grease. A long pry bar helps to get them moving.

The more you let them set the better, but they are still going to be tight. Sometimes it will be rusted to the sleeve inside the bushings. You just have to stick with it and keep working it. Anti- seize is your friend when you go back together. Like I say you may need a long breaker bar(sorry I said pry bar in the first).
