Thanks to everyone who responded. It seems the problem was I had
overestimated my upper body strength :-) I was trying to pry the wings
apart by pushing on each wing root. Instead, I inserted a bottle jack
horizontally with a long 2x4, and I was able to pry the two wings
apart There was indeed some epoxy around the bushing. It was not much,
but I guess it was enough to cause a significant resistance.
