Take a wire wheel around both sides, clean off thoroughly. Mix atf and acetone in a container 50/50 big enough to fit the end of the control arm in. Prop the balljoint end down in the container and make sure the entire balljoint is submerged. Cover up with a towel to minimize acetone from evaporating. Leave for 24 hours. It should come out with appropriate technique.

It will come out.

If you give up take it to a shop with a press. By the way are you using an actual balljoint remover??

You are giving up too easily.

If I am not mistaken, the control arms are the same through 84.

Control arms are the same for the 1/2 tons from 63 to 72. 73 changed to the rubber bushings on the control arm shafts.
Not sure on the difference between 3/4 and 1 tons though

While it's clean look for evidence of welding.
