I had to do that with the one I restored, it seemed to be a combination of a tight fit, rust and gummed up grease that was just about solid.

I soaked it in Kroil over night, then I tapped it with a hammer and a nylon punch. Once it started moving, I tapped it back and forth, moving it a bit further every time. Once I had it off, I lapped it as Sheepherder described above. I used fine lapping compound from Wheelers (intended for scope rings), and finally got the trigger guard to move smoothly.
