I put the control arm back on - connected both ends so I didn't have to hold the other end while I was beating on the ball joint end. I used a 3 lb hammer and it took a fair number of whacks, but it finally let loose.

New ball joint and tie rod installed and I'm finished for the night. The other side should go much better. Thanks for all the input everyone.

You're welcome.... glad it worked out ok for you.
