ball joint replacement

Any ideas on how to get the spindle off the knuckle on a 1994 F150 4x4? I have removed the nuts off the upper and lower ball joints and pounded on this thing till my hands hurt so bad that I can't pound anymore. Also, how does the camber adjusting sleeve come out from around the upper ball joint bolt? It won't budge either. I would NOT recommend this project as a do-it-yourself project. I can see now why places get $600 to $700 for it. Please help with any ideas cause I can't go back now. Thanks.

I got it! Didn't have to remove the camber adjusting sleeve. I just took a break and then pounded some more and it finally came free. I hate ball joints!!!
