Remove the carter pin in the castle nut, loosen the castle nut, hit the lower control arm/upper control arm where the ball joint intersects sharply with a ball peen or small sledge hammer that has either a "soft" face or "shot" in the face of the hammer. This type hammer reduces the chances of small pieces of steel becoming airborne projectiles. "WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES"! Pieces of steel breaking away can act like a bullet.
