Ball joint removal on a 83 2wd F150

I am still trying to remove the balljoints on my truck and the top one won't move. Has anyone had this problem before?

Read this caption & the NEXT one:

Have you been soaking it in penetrating oil? Have you hit the SIDE of the steering knuckle around the ball joint with a BFH?

Ok, I got both ball joints out. I am having problems getting the lower ball joint seated all the way in.
