Default Skunk2 camber kit removal

So im trying to remove my front camber kit , already have one out but however the driver's side is just being a bitch , the ball joint will not come off from the whole knuckle. Is there any other way i can try to get it off?

WHAT I DO IS HIT THE KNUCKLE WITH A HAMMER WHERE THE BALLJOINT IS, USE LIQUID WRENCH ALSO.

pb blaster is way better the wd 40 just so you know.

forks suck, and the destroy the ball.
rent a ball jount removal tool. or just start beating the leaving **** out of the control arm and try again.

had this issue with my freinds dc when we trying to put a axles in and we had to cut the ball off,

Go to auto store and buy this. Tie rod end separator for compact cars. Works great.

You don't attach it to the control arm, you are merely 'pushing' the ball joint out of the upright (the outer jaws are whats holding the upright). you can also use a 'fork', sandwich it between the ball joing and upright and beat the **** out of it. Sorry if my vernacular is unintelligible but I've had tee many martoonis.
