A "pickle fork" will work well too. Not the ones you see in grocery stores, but a ball joint splitter.

Shouldn't the end just pop off? without turning?
i mean i removed the clotter pin and nut but the ball/swivel joint won't come off the hub.

I did spray some wd40 and gave it all i had but i think im going to wreck the rubber housing,

help?
