soak it with some pb blaster and hit it harder. o try heating the spindle were the ball joint goes in with a torch to expand the metal and try.

do not let the suspension droop out. jack the suspension up a little and hit the spingle at the point where the ball joint is at. there is usually a flat spot on the spindle. trust me it works. having the suspension at full droop sometimes puts the ball joint in a bind.
