If your talking about seperating the upper control arm ball joint from the spindle, then a rubber mallet ain't gonna cut it.Your best bet would be to go down to the local parts store and get a ball joint seperator and use that.Autozone rents them.

A few hard strikes with a hammer on the spindle near the ball joint should do it.
