Note that the Steering Knuckle is upside down. The Factory Service Manual shows it upside down but with part of it held in a Vice so that you can Beat the Joint out.

The yellow arrow is not neccessary (for me anyway
). It is obvious with the position of the hammer/socket/steering knuckle that the ball joint can only come out in one direction.
PS. The assistant holding the socket is very brave (or very foolish) depending how you look at it.
