I got the top one loose was able to work the fork in there and I removed the spring, so it pushed it apart, but the lower is being difficult. I can't get the fork in there I need a wider one try to find one at autozone tomorrow. The ball joints are not in great shape so ill be replacing those too 40 years old they are.

Edit

Looks like I had a tie rod fork tool I went back to autozone and they gave me the ball joint remover. It wasn't easy but came apart.
