I ended up popping one side apart that way so far. It was under enough pressure still that it ended up scraping the threads on the U-bolts pretty bad on one side. So I am planning on chaining up the other side and popping it loose with a pickle fork at the ball joints instead.

And thanks Joe,
When I cross that bridge of working on the drive train some more I'll hit LILRED up for some possibilities
