Jack up on the control arm until you can fit something into the area shown (in this case a wrench), let the jack down and put some weight on the brake rotor. How I do mine… works every time.

oh, you are pulling the balljoints out… hm. Take the knuckle off and bring it somewhere with a press? Lots of work without the tool unfortunately

Sometimes you can get them out buy using a two jaw puller and a deepwell socket that fits over the stud to reach the body. jaws wrap around the backside of the knuckle near the BJ body, center bolt presses against the socket to force the balljoint out of the knuckle.
Doesn’t always work, but most of the time it’ll pop them out. Essentially does the same the the factory tool does.
oh and it should be a rigid beam puller, not one that the arms piviot all around.
like this one
I have one at the garage you can borrow if I get it back asap.
