Unhappy Lower Ball Joint 99 Tahoe

Ok replacing uppers and lowers... 99 Tahoe 4x4
Started last night.....
Got the top off... grinding drilling and beating - - took upper arm off to make easier, got the new BJ on and ready to reinstall..

BUT
*Now the fun... Lower BJ.... How in the Christmas does that come out???
It looks like its pressed in...
- Any easy way??? Tricks??
LCA is supported on jack.. Top stuff is all off - caliper off/outta way.
- Do I have to remove the axle/tie rod/unload torsion?? (Hayes Man says sure)

I grabbed a BJ press so I'm close - it looks like that axle is gonna need to be pulled...???

Thanks in advance ya'll
