I'd say that that depends on the rust (I agree with porkface).

When I took my W123 sub frame off the car for the first time I had one heck of a time trying to get the mounts off - I don't think I could have done it on the car.

This picture shows the middle part of the mount fused to the support stay and the bolt



Trying to hammer out the rubber part remaining



Go bolt cutters!!!!



Go claw hammer!!!!
