The traditional way of doing this is to strike diametrically opposite sides
of the joint with hammers, which the taper loose. It helps if you pre-load
the joint by removing the nut and putting some pressure on the end of the
pin with a bottle jack.
I would favour replacing the whole ball joint rather than just the boot.
Partly because the joints are cheap, but mainly because I could never find a
supplier of replacement boots!
