I am trying to replace my ball joints on a 93 rodeo and can't figure out how to get the lower one off of the steering knuckle. I have it loose but it wont pull out becuase the back of the wheel where the cv boot slips over will not allow it to. I dont want to have to take the entire wheel assembly off to do this. Any help would be much appreciated.

93 Rodeo 3.2L, 3" body lift, 3" Indy4x lift on 33's, flowmaster50, stainless brakes and clutch lines,
