On the rubber hanger, try to squeeze a little grease or oil into slot and work it in. You'll have to jimmy it back and forth to work it in but it will eventually.
On the bolt, is the bolt spinning or just not budging at all? If it's not budging, then you might squirt a little WD40 in to the threads and see if that breaks it up. I have a feeling that you have a small socket wrench that you can't get too much torque with. If you have an empty pipe that will fit over the handle of the wrench, use it to multiply your torque. It will give.

We used a long pry bar type thing to pull the exhaust away from the rubber hanger. You can get them from Auto Zone. Leverage is the key. We used a cordless drill with a socket attachment to get the spring bolts out. No biggie, could have done it with a socket wrench but the cordless was faster. I did have it easy using my friends lift too.
