WD 40 & a big hammer. Sometimes they get rusty stuck.

No matter how far you fall, the ground will always catch you

do you mean that you can not get the pin out of the spring ends or the shackle off the springs, they are easily rusted and seized on, try heating the pin/shackle with a torch, it shouldnt take to much heat but the old bushings will probably burn and melt a bit and then the pins should slide out fairly easily, when you put it all back together lube it regularly and it will come apart with ease next time.

No matter what way they are stuck there is only one solution that you need:
