The ball joints thread in from the top.
the ball joint sockets are 3/4 drive for a reason, big ratchet or pipe is needed

try tightening it first to break the threads loose. Sounds crazy...but sometimes it works Its only steel anyways, you want to be careful with it, but a small mini torch heating up in bursts might work too...don't let the flame stay longer than 10-15 seconds on the area, the threads in the UCA are very few and you might do harm to them. Mine was a 3/4" drive as well....Cover your knuckles with gloves and a few rags otherwise you will be for a few hours

I've always used an impact, but you're gonna need a good one. One that puts out roughly 500 ft lbs of torque to get it to break loose. A worn out or cheap one doesn't put out enough.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

Same here but it only takes a few seconds to see it's not threaded in from the bottom ...
