do what the man says... get like a 5lb hammer and beat the living ---- out of it.

go get it pressed out, and the new one pressed in, it shouldn't cost too much money and is a lot safer then the hammer method.

They hammer out easy with a good sized hammer and a big punch. Best to press them in so you dont colapse the ball joint case causing memory steer. Just pull the whole knuckle.
