 Smitty says I believe I gave you my input on that job which doesn't
require removing ball joints.  If you insist though, back the nut off
about 1/8 of an inch and then suport the car by the axel or rocker panel
with a jack stand.  That way the spring will apply pressure to pull the
taper out of the socket.  When it separates and the 1/8 gap is gone, then
move the jack to under the control arm and take the nut off.
