Im assuming youre referring to the lower BJ.
Try using an air wrench. If you dont have an air wrench, put the jack under the control arm and jack up on it slightly. This will keep pressure on the ball joint so it wont spin.
As for the plug caps, pull harder, theres no trick to it.

sometimes the plugs are a bitch to squeeze.. push them in all the way and then squeeze them till you hear a click and then pull.. or use a screwdriver to stick between the 2 halfs of the plug and pry open when your sqeezing
you can use a thin small vice grip and clamp on to the bolt and hold on to it. clamp it where it does not have any threads. but other then that i'd go with the first idea.
