I've got the bolts out, but I can't seem to separate the rubber mounts from the frame.

If there like most others...the rust has grown into the rubber

So either soakin or heat or some good ole leverage with some arse behind it

Beat a pry bar under them with a hammer.

Take a 3/4" drift and pound it down the center hole... that will usually separate the inner liner...

They do not disassemble easily. They were designed to pinch themselves together when they were first installed. Taking them out was not on Fords mind! Hawkrod

if you're not reusing the bushing running a drill up & thru to chew away the remains of metal sleeve running in the middle of the bushing will make things a little easier to separate and remove

I had to sawzall mine off, were rusted and fused together. If you need replacements, I found the later style (73? and up) have a captive nut on the lower shell, increases the chances of removing intact. Loosen the bolt, tap with hammer to separate the two halves. May need to trim to match the length of the old ones.
