This is a little bit harder, you will need to put the nut back (not all the way) to protect the threads in case of a bad blow. Use a hammer to tap the ball joint carrier while applying upward pressure to the control arm. Sounds tricky but you are not hitting the thrust rod or the ball joint but the metal were the ball joint goes through. Applying in the mean time a lot of upward pressure with a pry bar causing the ball joint to pop out. Or remove the strut assembly and use a tie-rod puller.
