Need some advice on taking off my control arms

[frog210]

Well today is the day that i started taking off my control arms to install my porterbuilt arms. well after many swears and a few tool runs im stuck

Im trying to take out the springs so i can start unbolting everything, i stop because it got to dark and mosquitoes were out.
Well i unbolted my sway bar, shock, tie rod, the lower ball joint nut, i tried to undo the top ball joint, but couldn't break it loose. well i lower the jack, the arm goes down the stud of the ball joint goes flush with the spindle whole, but it wont go down to take the pressure off the spring. i dont know if im missing something here or what
( in the video i was only working on the driver side, so thats why you still see the sway bar, but it aint connected)
