The best ball joint separator I found is a scissor type where you screw in a bolt to open the scissors to undo the ball joint. You can get it from harbor freight I think. If you do not have that or a pickle fork but have a vertical cylinder hydraulic jack it will work too.
Loosen and remove the nut under the ball joint. Slip it back on flush with the end of the ball joint tip. Place the vertical cylinder jack under the nut and start jacking the car up. Let the weight of the car pop the joint loose. The rest is easy.
Remember to mark the tie rod end and loosen the nut on the end before you separate the ball joint.
