On the fronts (and I'm sure the same applies to the rear) you need to take a B.F.H. to the actual metal part of the arm (NOT the actual ball joint). The shock of it being hit out of the attachment area usually breaks the corrosion loose and it'll PING/POP out.

I'd use a Rubber Mallet that you can hit, so you don't damage it if you're trying to keep it. A few HARD taps along it will do it justice unless it's really bad.
If it's REALLY bad, you'll have to get a pickle fork to separate it.
