Another Question Regarding This (archive)

I'm changing the bushings in my upper control arms to Paul Gray's urethane ones. I jacked up the car and started taking it apart. I already removed the cotter pin (which was a pain), removed the 22mm bolt that held the ball joint in place. I also removed the sway bar. Now I CAN'T get the ball joint out. I tried hitting the end of it with a hammer, but it won't budge. Is there an easier way to get it out? I also can't get the bolt that goes through the bushing out. The space up there is too tight even with the sway bar removed. How should I go about taking this bolt out? Space if VERY LIMITED! TIA guys.

Another added point. I was reading the Bavarian Autosport instructions on how to install these things. They said to tighten the bolt that goes through the bushing AFTER LOWERING THE CAR BACK DOWN. First thing about this that confuses me, I can't tighten the bolt without removing the sway bar, and with the sway bar off and the car lowered I can't put the sway bar back on. So how do I go about doing this. My car is also TOO LOW TO GET UNDER to tighten the bolt. I won't be able to get under there. TIA again.
