Lower control arm removal

[Big Al]

I got my new control arm. Was able to get the 2 bolts off, but was unable to get the rotor side joint lto break loose. Tried a ball joint fork with no success. I bought a universal ball joint spreader like in the DIY but it did not open far enough. I have a 2000 X5 and the joint is on very tight. Is there a universal puller that will fit this joint and where can you buy one. I will try another parts store tomorrow to see if they have a bigger puller. Any other suggestions on getting it off. I may have to go to the dealer to get it off if I am unsuccessful.

Thanks
