I don't know if it's the "approved" method, but a little penetrating oil
is fine, you can always clean up the residue with brake cleaner.  Using
the BFBar method, moving the A-arm up and down slowly will usually yield
results.  I've also removed the ball joint bolt, then dropped the car
back down on the tire,  pushing the tire back and forth with your foot
(e-brake on) has also helped in getting out stuck ball joints.  A few
good whacks (at 90 degrees to the BJ) with a Brass hammer helps too.

There are two types of tragedies in life. One is not getting what you
want, the other is getting it.
