He's wondering about the ball joint from the control arm not the ball joint from the strut housing.
Without the tool, I did both of mine by using a pliers like these, or a pipe wrench. Either style with a breaker bar. The design of this tool means that the harder you squeeze to loosen the bolt, the tighter the jaws get on the bolt.
