Use a pickle fork. I know - weird name. It's a tool specifically designed to remove ball joints. Any Autozone will have them in their loaner department.

Don't use a pickle fork if your gonna need the old ball joint if so do it, but you can beat the lower control arm without bending it, or just yank at it downward but leave the strut on the car for support so you can pull. it should just come out when you pull.
