Knock/drill/smash the gubbins out of the housing, helps if you remove the back of the ball joint with a punch and some Levering/wiggling......

This job is much easier if you just remove the hub a couple of well placed hammer wacks and its out |

it could be! i decided on that strategy but couldnt get the fkin strut bolts out even with a 4 ft bar. since learnt that a tig welder makes an ideal way to heat bolts to crack rust siezed bits |

Hey, I've been trying for weeks to get the ball joints out of my wheel knuckle. Started with splitters and pullers which all bent and snapped. Moved to hammers, sledge hammers and chisles. Then to air hamner and then finally to jack hamner! Oblitorated the top of the ball joint and still hasnt budged a millimeter.
