Put a floor jack under the control arm and lift up on the arm hard (so the vehicle is almost raising up on that corner) and then loosen it. The added pressure should keep the stub from rotating. In a shop, you can usually get these to free up by repeatedly reversing with an impact gun.
The hard part about this job is getting the ball joint out of the steering knuckle and reinstalling it.
