NO! Double hammer the area where the arrow is pointing. I usually use an air hammer, but the hammer method works fine. I put a ball peen hammer with the flat side on the taper, then whack the shit out of it with a 4lb sledge. A couple good whacks, then tap the top of the ball joint threads with a hammer (really lightly to not damage threads). If it does pop right out, double hammer the taper again. I've never had a ball joint not come out that way.
