I have a cheapo slam and break type of sperator, useful if you don't plan to reuse the boot =P

Sideways

I watched a mechanic just lightly tap the arm adjacent to the ball joint with a sledge and the ball joint fell out. No special tools just a 10 lb sledge.

when i used it on the lower ball joints i just used a hammer

yeah a bfh will work. otherwise, you can go to autozone and rent a 'tierod end/ pitman arm puller' they work great for our car's balljoints.
