I just went through the same thing and am now just getting it all back together. I used the press pictured by TD to press the lower ball joint out of the A-arm. To separate the lower ball joint from the spindle I used the BFH and pickle fork approach. Since I was replacing A-arm bushings anyway, I removed the upper ball joint and then took the lower A-arm and spindle off as 'one' piece. I found I could get better leverage with the BFH than when it was on the car. It took awhile, and I ended up bending my pickle fork a little. A torch may work too, but I was skeptical since I was reusing my spindles. Good luck.
