Question: How can I get the upper ball joint out once it is already loose?

I was able to pry it free from the spindle part and everything but I cannot move the upper control arm to actually pull out the ball joint. Lower control arm won't go down far enough. Suggestions?

    YOU MUST SEPERATE THE 2 CONTROL ARMS AND PRESSURE THE BALL JOINT OUT WITH A BALLJOINT TOOL

    I just can't separate the 2 control arms enough to get it out. The ball joint is already free. There is just not enough space between the control arms to pull it out with my hands.
