Soaking in magic juices or heat (either to warm things up so they break loose or cutting them off) are both good ideas.
Only caution I'll add is if you use heat, especially a cutting flame, pull the valve cores out on your tires. You mention CaCL. If the tires are quite full, it won't be so critical, but if you've unloaded them to where it's mostly air in there and the tires are up to a working pressure, you can blow one up (NOT pretty!) if too much heat transfers from the rim to the air in the tire. Pull the core, blow some air in and make sure it blows back out, indicating a good vent, before you start. Only takes a minute and worth the effort.
Not a bad idea if they are loaded, either. Just position the valve at the top and remove the core as descibed. You probably wouldn't get things hot enough to boil the water/CaCl solution, but making steam is worse than heating air. If they are still loaded, you'll want to have either a chain fall or an engine hoist to hold them up or make sure you have a clear area beside them for them to fall away, and position yourself and anybody else around so that you're out of the way when they do.

The appearance of matching sleeves, pistons, rings, and bearings can cause frustration and agony if not properly measured and installed in a workshop environment. Following c
