The stub part of the ball joint is tapered. You have 2 things that can happen; the stub can stay put in the steering knuckle, in which case you can get the nut off, but then need to get the stub out. OR you can have this happen where the stub drops out and it spins. If you follow my suggestion, you can lift the stub back in and then remove the nut, and very often the stub will drop back out when you are through. Have you even tried this? it works, you coulda had it off days ago.....
