Upper Ball Joint Help!

Hey
I recently struggled to remove the upper ball joints in my 64 Belvedere
I saturated mine with trans fluid and let it sit a couple days , then got a longer hefty chisel and walloped the one corner of the old ball joint to jar it in the counter clockwise direction - it spun out with the socket after with relative ease
If that doesn’t budge it , you could try heating it with a butane torch
Good luck!
 
An impact wrench has always gotten them out for me.
It can then be done in a vise or with the arm still mounted.

Impact guns need a lot of air, most home compressors are too small..
That picture looks like an injury about to happen to both the person and the fenders...
There comes a point where logic has to win out over a few bucks. Hope it comes soon.
