Penetrant and a BFH. You can hit the knuckle where the tie rod goes through it and that works for a lot of vehicles but I have has dome stubborn Toyota's in the past. Use a pry bar on the control arms and penetrant. I don't like to leave penetrant on any of the rubber bushings though. Lots of penetrants will breakdown rubber eventually.
