Did it have a shape similar to the one in the Pic.
In the other pic is how I got the Ball Joints out of the Lower Control Arm when I changed the Lower Control Arm Bushings.
Doing this ruins the Nut. You back the Nut of about 3 threads and I heat the Arm with a Propane Torch.
A couple of swings of the Hammer and it poped loose.
However, I got the Torch too close and ruind the Boots on the Ball Joint. Not a problem if your are replacing the Ball Joints.
when you don't have to worry about the Joint or Boot some have used a Pickle Fork between the Knuckle and the bottom of the Lower Control Arm.
