Lower ball joint is stuck

Sorry about format, on mobile and don't really use reddit

Finally payed off the baby after spending way too much on a used ol girl off Carvana, (my fault, 21 and stupid at time of purchase) so I want to start modifications and fixing small problems like a clunk in my front end on some bumps because my area has notoriously bad roads, northwest Ohio rust belt. I bought all the parts, expecting to replace everything but the axles and the knuckles but when I get the driver side knuckle off I can't get the ball joint out of it. It's now been three days. Ive hammered, heated, spent money on the proper tools and even had it in an 8 ton press and still the thing hasn't budged. Guess im pressing new wheel bearing after all because im pretty sure im going to have to replace thw whole assembly.
