Default crx hatch struts

hello, I just picked up an 88 crx HF on sunday and I'm trying to get the interior back to normal as lots of stuff is screwed up. I just bought some new struts for the hatch but they didn't come with the whole ball joint bolt action that I need, so I need to know a good way to separate the ball joints so I can reuse the old ones? thanks!

i think i just pulled real hard and they popped off. if you have to, use a screwdriver and a rag for leverage. did you somehow remove the ball joint from the hatch? if so, put it back on, it makes it easier.
