I have done many of these. The bottom of the LCA needs to be resting on something solid, and as close to the joint as possible. A good whack with a hammer on top of the stud should have done the job. I have also used a HF tie rod separator with great success. Although it did not fit all the way in as you experienced with your tool, it put just enough pressure that a slight blow with a hammer on the part pushing against the stud popped it off with ease. Don't give up on it, it will be worth the effort to get the car back on the road.....Rich
EDIT: I missed the last post saying you got it apart-I knew you could do it!
