How do remove the knuckles?

What is the best tool (other than some kind of a large machine press) to remove the knuckles from a 78' Dana 44? A BFH didn't work and niether did a pickle fork. Has anyone ever had to do this before? How did you do it?

You need to knock the ball joints out of thier respective holes and it'll just fall out. Undo the nuts on the ball joints and bang down on the ball joint itself. You will need to replace the ball joints after this as they will be no good.
