I'm more barbaric. I've found that a hammer with some gentle persuasion works as well.
For the axle nut I used a breaker bar and about a 6' long torque multiplier (cheater bar). That is certainly one tough nut!
I think it looks like this is a case where YMMV (your mileage may vary). I'd take the hub nut off, take the wheel off, disconnect the axle from the transmission, jack/raise the hub up, and then see what kind of angle you can get on the thing and what's in the way. You can then either drop the lower stress plate or the cats depending on what's necessary in your case. But yeah, definitely don't go busting those ball joints, as that's definitely not necessary.
