Need to use a ball joint remover. Its like a giant fork. You can pick one up at sears hardware or pepboys.

Those things have caused me more harm than good, ie ripped ball joints if you arent careful. If you use that just be careful.

The best thing to use, but I'm sure you dont have is an airhammer. If you know anyone who has one, use it and it only takes a second and the control arm will break free from the balljoint.

where would i be able to pick up an airhammer?...sears or pepboys ?.....and when do do get it....hit down or up on the ball joint?

 

You would need an aircompressor in order to use an airhammer. If you dont already own, you probably wouldnt want to invest in it just for this. Yes, you can purchase them at Sears.
