Default Ball Joint Replacement Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well i just got a fork for my 1996 honda civic so i can remove my ball joint. Well for some reason the fork isnt doing anything... I removed the Bolt that was on the ball joint and then seperated it from the arm there and now its just sitting there. I guess im asking how to get this thing out and the fork isnt doing anything for me.. Please help thanks

A fork just seperates the tapered part of the ball joint from the arm. If you need to remove the ball joint completely from the car because it is worn out, take the knuckle to a shop and have them press the other side of the joint out.
