yup, i use a bfs(tm) (for those scratching their head, those are =
initials). works just like the chisel would, helped along my the good =
ol' mini sledge.
btw: actually pulling the bolt all the way out definitely helps as well =
(this also applies to the steering shaft u-joints).

  I have a nice little 1/4" cold chisel that ramps up quite sharply. I =
put it in the slot of the knuckle, little tap and the ball joint falls =
apart. See, you didn't ask did you? Or if you did, I'm sorry I missed =
the post.
