hit either side of the knuckle with a small sledge hammer near the bolt but NOT the bolt and it will pop down. Keep a jack under your lower arm to keep it from dropping down hard.

yup..just what he said ^^^^^

i see you have a 2002, it may take a couple good whacks to loosen it up since it is probably seat pretty well.

be very carefull not to hit the threads or boot

Loosen the nut and leave it a few turns from coming off and you wont need a Jack to support it when it pops.
