Ball Joint Boot replacement tricks needed

I am replacing the ball joint boots on the front lower joints. I am having trouble getting the lower control arm free of the ball joint. The area is too small to use the typical ball joint tool and I dont want to destroy the joint so I dont want to hammer on it in such a way as to damage it. There is little to pry against. I am looking for some ideas as to how to proceed.

Thanks.
