I remove the cotter key, back off the nut a couple of turns, center drill the stud, hookup the two jaw and off they come.
I do Never-Seeze the stud and threads before putting back together and use a torque wrench to tighten.

Most of the ball joints I've worked with have the stud already notched to accomodate the point on the jaw puller.
