apply pressure to the top of the joint with a lever or jack,if worst comes to the worst nut will split easy with a decent hammer and chisel

I’ve tried pressure, but it still just turns. I’ll try hammer and chisel and if that fails l’ll get the angle grinder out. Is the ball joint under pressure do l need to jack it up and support the axle when l remove the ball joint ?
 
What jamesmartin and Al203 said; you're replacing the part and nut so no need to faff about, pick your weapon and go to town on it.

Us civillised folk use nut splitters, rather than the yobbos wi' there hammers and noisy cutting things :p
