Default balljoint question...

I put tein spring on my car and I bought an ingalls front camber kit. The directions say to remove the ball joint from the stock A arm and put it in the new one. Well it's not that easy. I took it to a machine shop and they said it can't be done b/c the machine press would damge the ball joint. I tried a really big hammer. No Luck. Any ideas.

Thee fork tears the boot but it only takes 5 sec. I ripped my boot 6 months ago using one and to this day it still seems to be fine.
