You could use a wrench to loosen it, i think you have some space. if the ball joint starts spinning, you need insert a T30 or T40 I think to hold it in place while wrenching it. then use the separator to push it down.
Got it installed on car, it was a T40 now I need to source a strut. I ordered one from a vendor and been waiting all day just to find out the order was never shipped.
