I've just done this and it was an absolute nightmare.

The tool that worked was a US Pro 12 tonne ball joint separator - it's one big, heavy piece of kit.

You'll need to drop the anti roll bar and the steering rack ball joint (cue wheel tracking) because the space is very tight but it can be done. I created a "well" in grease around the top of the ball joint and filled it with Plusgas and left it for several days to help.

Good luck.
