Default FRONT CAMBER HELP ASAP!!!

im working on my front camber kit right now and im having trouble with something. I got the castle nut off easy, but i cant get the actually camber part off the vertical bar (sorry i dont know the terms). but basically i cant get the 2 things apart that were help together by the castle nut. Are they just suppose to slip off? please respond asap, i need to get this done quick. thanks.

Are you saying you can't remove the upper control arm (the triangle shaped piece) of the spindle (the part the wheel connects to)

Sounds like the ball joint.

thread the castle nut back on to protect the threads.
Grab a BIG HUGE HEAVY hammer.

Hit the spindle a hard as you can, this will loosen the ball joint from the spindle, then lift the upper control arm off the spindle

alright, i got the kit on and eyed the camber to perfection, however the damn car pulls to the right like crazy, im guessing i can just go get an alignment to fix it, but i want the camber to be perfect, where can i get that done at, or who does camber alignments, anyone know?
