Can you not put pressure onto the top of the ball joint so that it is held by friction in the taper and then tighten it?

get someone to stand on the bone while you tighten the nut

Tie down strap around top and bottom wishbones, tighten gently!

Tighten it with a non nylock nut first, then remove and fit the nylock - a bit of a pfaff but always works.
A good belt with a rubber mallet is much faster and usually works.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Plank of wood, shove end inside wheel rim and lever the joint down into the taper.

large socket over the nut and then use a g clamp to press it home I would suggest another socket on the top applying pressur to the casting. Is the
rod end the correct one if not this could be the problem as the taper may be wrong
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

+2 for the non-locking nut first then stick on the nylock afterwards.
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......
