Can't believe a good quality scissor one won't free it. I've had a scissor one on very seized balljoints and used my air ratchet to do the bolt up and when they go they go with a BANG! but they always come off :)

So far I've twisted three and now the fork seperator is so wedged in I can't get it out lol

 

I've hit them with a sledge hammer before now - probably not ideal but sometimes anger takes over!!

 

Make sure you put plenty of copper grease on it when you refit it. It never ceases to amaze me how tight a bond rust can create. The lower arms on my e-type took 30 tons in a press with it cherry red from an oxy torch and it was only rust holding it.

so putting some copper grease on where the swivel fits in the arm so  next time may be easier yes
