Clean it up really good and check to see if someone tack welded them in.I've seen it done when the BJ didn't fit tight in the CA,

I remember mine were a pain to get out as well. I think I used a mini sledge and beat the you know what out of them. Place some 2x4 pices of wood under it to get it off the floor then try it.

ok problem solved lol
this thing was driving me crazy.
i smacked the spindle around the balljoint and loosened it up
screwed the nut back on and made it flush with the threads
and smacked the hell out of it
