Rear trailing arm bolts 140-160 74

Does anyone have a fairly certain way of getting the rear trailing arm bolts out? (That's the bolts that secure the trailing arms to the rear axle.) I unfortunately don't have gas welding gear. The problem is that once I have the nuts undone the bolt turns out to have rusted to the metal sleeve, and will turn with the sleeve inside the bushing but won't come out. Would using a big vice and some sockets as an improvised press be able to press the bolt out by brute force or would that just destroy parts (mainly the trailing arm) ?
