I've been AFK for a while. I know you've probably got past this by now.
If you run into a stubborn LBJ, then while your car is securely raised in the air, put the jack under the stud on the lower ball joint and jack it up. It will separate the joint easily. If the car starts to raise off the jackstands, then lower the jack back down until the car is secure again, and hit the side of the LBJ with a BFH. Hit it as hard as it takes. It should pop out easily.
