Help with upper ball joint stuck in kuckle...

I have a 70 Duster that I just bought and I knew that it needed somethings done to the front suspension to drive it safely.....

So I am putting new tie rod ends, QA1 upper control arms, bump stops, etc.... Got one side torn appart, was using a pickle fork to remove the ends and upper ball joint, but the upper ball joint is stuck in the knuckle. No matter what I do, it will not apparently come apart. Yes, I searched hear and on Google for possible solutions, but I figured soneoso here has had the same problem as I. Short of using a BFH or cutting it, any suggestions to get it out?


Thanks!
