Front or rear? Is it the ball joint? Not too sure what you are referring to. If its the ball joint you might need a spreader.

Its basically a pickle fork. It looks like a two pronged fork that goes around the ball joint and you use it to pry/wedge upward. They also use them to separate tie rod ends from the steering knuckle. You can get a kit with 3 sizes for $40 at Sears and singles at the auto parts store for whatever they cost...
