This is the way we did it on the Mustangs to remove ball joints or tie rod ends, but we didn't even bother prying. Go get the biggest goddamned sledgehammer you can find, guzzle an energy drink & a protein bar, and hit the BJ receiver/steering arm on the spindle like you're trying to break it. The impacts knock the joint loose within a few hits.
