Ford 6600 Ball joint stuck in place

[dstig1]

Is that a set screw hole on the bottom left of the joint in the second pic?

Like I said earlier, I don't know this model and the pics don't tell enough for me to really have a clue. Could be pressed in place, could be you have to pull it instead of pushing on it, could be a snap ring hiding...could just be rust. Best bet is to find a shop manual or at least a parts diagram online and see what you can figure out from that.

Or post in a more specific sub forum for this model (on TBN or elsewhere) so people who know this model/brand better will see it.

I know this model and like I said, the arm is stuck on the pin. The clamp that the bolt came out of on the arm needs to be spread. The bolt clamps onto the pin and goes through a notch on the pin to allow it to turn in the bushings top and bottom of the bore. You can see the top bushing in the picture.
The pin will have to be pulled up.

We eventually worked on the stuck ball joint enough times with more heating and more hammering (x 10) that it came loose. It looks like we will be lucky enough to not have to take the center pivot arm off... I feel like I probably shouldn't have typed that last part. Oh well, onward we roll. Thanks for the input, team.
