Andreas, Here's my "special" ball joint-removing tool made up from parts from the hardware store. Crude but worked fine. Round headed bolt pushes against the ball joint (with nut on to protect the threads) and spins freely (sort of) in the "coupling nut" since the round-headed bolt is smaller size than nut. Coupling nuts come in various lengths; I think I cut this one the the length that would fit between the parts. Ball joint popped out with relative ease.
Enjoy,
Ron
