I am installing a specialty products front camber kit and after allot of time and effort i finally budged the top plate of the ball joint out of the control arm, but ball joint is still connected and the lower bolt is still in the radius rod. I have a ball joint press, but it doesn't work very well (it's too damn big). I've gotten as far as i am using a small c-clamp and a flathead screwdriver to pry it out. How do I fully remove it to install the new ball joint?

(i posted this in the prelude fourm too, but thought this would be a better place. sorry for the cross-post)

Take the castle nut off, let the assembly hang, grab the biggest hammer you can find and.........

It'll come off, just get pissed at it.
