The balljoint does not press in. When tightened up it seats into the spindle, there's no need to even torque it that tight. It's a 22mm, use a wrench to take the nut off, then use a pickle fork or a splitter to get it off. You can even use a long prybar and hammer since it's trash.
I was wondering why you were messing with the axle anyway, there was no need to touch it. Now that you've beat on it it's also toast, so keep pounding. I popped a pair out yesterday with little effort, but I have had some that require ungodly force to move. Those always get replaced anyway because even the slightest hit will crown the threads. You've learned a major lesson I hope.
And I got a pair of good axles if you need one.
