Passenger side lower balljoint

I am attempting to replace the passenger side lower balljoint on my 97 Chevy Blazer LT. I have been unwilling to remove the driveaxle because the driverside broke when I replaced top and bottom on that side. The top on the passenger side was replaced back in March and did not have the time to do the final one. I have now decided to do that and have already removed tthe riviots but am unable to get the brake hub assembly to drop. I have a Hanes manual but amazingly, there is not a specific section on the lower balljoints for 4x4. I suppose it would be the same as the 2x4 but am not sure. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Just rent a pickle fork and wedge it out.

^x2, you can spend a long time on it with no results without one. The $10-$15 is worth it IMO.

Don't forget a BFH lol

Did you get it figured out?

I did. Thanks to all who gave advice.
