Early Foosties used a pinch bolt --- remove the pinch bolt -- knock a scredriver into the the split in the bottom of thre strut to spread it
and the ball joint pin pops out when you hit or lever the wishbone.
Only other way ball joints are loacated is a taper and nut --- for those you usually need a ball joint splitter --- simple forked wedge splitters
are easiest and quickest but damaged the rubber gaitor.

Last one I did was a straight pin with a groove in it. You had to remove the bolt to get the arm down to remove it. Get a bar and wedge it over the
wishbone and under the body, someone to stand on it to force wishbone down then pull the bottom of the strut out.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
