Bargain Bucket is on a distinguished road
I had this issue. Like others have said, refit the arm (and put the nut back on the balljoint) and hit the hell out of the arm with a sledgehammer. I found it best to support the other end of the arm on an axle stand. The ball joint WILL come out like this but you do need to hit the arm VERY hard with a BIG sledgehammer.
