My suggestions are:
1. Use a "Pickle Fork," and,
2. Unscrew the nut on the balljoint until it is flush with the top of the bolt. Then, using a hammer (a sledge hammer makes it much easier) tap it out to get it started.
I would also suggest a healthy application of PB blaster or similar penetrant.
Sean and I did this on his and they were tough to get out. When you install the new one, use some antisieze and it will make "next time" a bit easier.
