Lower ball joint - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just bought a beltech suspension setup, I have installed the rear springs and shocks but the front is giving me a headache. I have looked on the site on how to break the lower ball joint. When doing this do I need to remove the rotor and caliper or can I leave it? and also the owner before me heated the springs so I dont have any pressure pushing down it that matters. I have tried a ball joint fork and it will now seperate it and I have also put a jack under the control arm and hit the lower part of the spindle still did not break it loose what is going on?
