How do I remove old pipes from a bath tub drain?

How do I remove old iron(?) pipes from a leaking bath tub drain? I want to replace it with the PVC (?) stuff you get at Home Depot. Any tricks for breaking the bond and wrenching these pipes apart? Or do I have to cut? The pipes that are there have probably been there for 50 years and are well rusted together.
