remove the pinch bolt, hammer a cold chisel in the slot, remove ball joint. What precisely seems to be the problem?

edit: just so we're clear, you do know you have to completely remove the pinch bolt for the ball joint to come out of the hub dont you?

yeah you need to lever that bugger open. No need to go mad, just a little bit to release the grip on the ball joint. cold chisel is your friend there, or if you havent got one i guess a big fat ended flat blade screwdriver would do it ok
