upper ball joint replacement

Probably not the right place to post it but can't post where it should be , I bought the correct socket for my upper ball joint removal and got it to turn but the problem is it just keeps turning and wont come out , do I have to use a pickle fork or something after it turns out as far as it will go or is the something else I have to do , I don't have any pressure on it because it is on a rotisserie , I tried the other side also and it just un screws until it clicks which I'm assuming is the end of the threads .
