You mean you can get the knuckle off the lower control arm? If you have a mallet pound on it a bit. Sometimes the knuckle get pressed on the ball joint pretty tight and needs some force and vibration to get it loose. good luck

Hammer on the CAST IRON knuckle nearest the spot that holds the ball joint.

The ball joint will come free.
