Can't get outer ball joints out! Have removed nut and have tried joint fork with no luck. Any tips?

Wedge the fork in real tight then take a hammer I prefer a small 4lb sledge. Then smite the spindle ie the thick metal between the nut and joint. If this does not work get a torch heat the spindle and smite again.
Good luck and smite away
