I used a pitman arm puller type tool in the video I just did on this last
week.  You can buy a pickle fork from Autozone for pretty cheap.  Just be
sure to keep the two allen head bolts installed on the upper control arm
while you use the pickle fork to pull the upper ball joint.  If you don't
you won't be able to get enough leverage for it to pop off.
