The best trick I've seen is to take a short, heavy hammer, and with the nut
very loose (1/4" space from nut to lower arm) whack the lower control arm
repeatedly with the hammer. This deforms the tapered hole enough for the
tapered ball joint to come out, but not damage the arm, since it's a
malleable casting. Sometimes takes 6 good hard whacks.
Good luck.
