Rear Shackle Bushing Removal

I'm in the process of replacing my flattened out stock rear springs, with OME 2" lift springs. The rear shackle bushings are rusted to the shackle pins, and dont want to come off! I've tried some of the usual methods, lots of PB Blaster, Big F'n Hammer, my favorite pry bars, but they wont budge....
Any Ideas? I was thinking about super heating the pins and then try prying. I have new shackle kits, so i don't care about ruining the old ones.
