Trailer arm bushings Help! 200

Built the tool, got the nerve, went ahead. Driver side went problem free. Had to torch every nut to break them loose but was fine Got the T arm off and took it to my local M/S and they pressed in a new front bushing for me. Installed new spring and shock too. Sweet.
Passenger side is a B####. Torched all the nuts and got the arm off no problem. But the rear bushing won't budge for nothing. I pushed the innards out but man it is seized bad. 1/2" drive impact @120PSI and it doesn't move a bit. I am soaking it overnight in Krown. Tomorrow a yank the exhaust to get a better reach.
Does anyone have ideas for me? I am reluctant to torch it as the e/brake housing is right there and made of plastic and is hard to remove. Should I cut it in half or cut a section out of it and hacksaw it or something. Anyone?
It is turning nasty cold here on Friday so I want to finish tomorrow
