When I had to remove mine to do balljoints I found that after stripping the axle down to the housing and knuckles:

1. loosen the nuts for the balljoints but don't take them off. This way the knuckle will not fall on the ground or your foot.

2. For me, most important, BFH

I tried that didn't work. The only thing that worked for me was bfh. Some people have had luck with heat.

Will when I had to take mine off after the little mishap I i just smaked the piss outta it with a hammer made me feel a little better about the whole situation too.

I did what brent is suggesting. I just loosened the nuts till they were almost off, and then it only took one blow per knuckle(3lb mini-sledge) to get them off. HTH
