250 How to Remove hub from upper ball joint (not removing that)??

  1. I've asked for this in a sub post of another tread, so sorry if the question hits anyone twice.

    I've dismantled everything around the swiwel part of my hub as I'm to replace the lower ball joint. To get the hub out, I need to separate it from the upper ball joint, preferably without removing that or damaging the boot.

    Any ideas of how to do this? Its very stuck. I've tried some penetration fluid without luck. Is the next step using heat? Seems like a hard thing to do without melting the rubber boot.
    Any other ideas? If I mash a ball joint separator in there, I'll most certainly destroy the boot as well.

    Any good ideas?
