Can't hurt to try. It's popped every one I've tried it on. It's the sharp shock that breaks it loose,
Destroyed ball joint removal? Help!

I know exactly what you meant. You need to understand why it's done that way though. You don't hit the ball joint itself under normal circumstances because it will mushroom the threads and then it won't fit through the hole. Being that this guy chopped the threaded bit off, all that's left is the tapered part, so a good smack with a parallel punch will shift it. Fact still remains, the second hammer is used to make it a dead blow, whether it's held against it or swung at it. Same song, different singer

Trust a bloody Jock to spot that
Apparently that's offensive now, according to the BBC. Anyway, it must have been my English side coming out
