Mean ball joint has seperated? Is the pinch bolt what won't come out? Or have bolts to control been removed first before pinch bolt? Do you have impact or 1/2 breaker bar? Also have tool to seperate joint from spindle?

Front bushing bolt need to hold one end while turning other Rear can unbolt bracket from frame. If that much rust bolts maybe VERY dificult to turn and may need to be cut off
