What part is stuck?
Do you mean the inner metal sleeve is stuck to the bold so that you can't get the bolt out?
Of do you mean the bolts are out and the arm is out, but you don't have a press to push the bushing out?
When sleeves get rusted on, the solution I use is to cut the bolt off on both sides. A power sawzall or cutting torch works fine. It does not matter if you burn out the rubber since you are going to replace it anyway.
If the bushing itself is the problem, then you could just take the arm to a shop with a press, you could run a long threaded rod through, with a pipe or large socket to act as receptical and a large washer on the pushing side. Or you could burn out the rubber and chisel out the steel outer sleeve, if there is one. Or you could buy a press for $60 at Harbor Freight, or you could make a press. After all, you have a 2 ton truck chassis you could lower on it.
If you mean the bolts are out but the arms is not coming out easily, that is probably just the fact the rubber is swollen, and you need to lever it out with a pry bar.
