Just open the slot in the middle where the pinch bolt clamps with a large screw driver. Doesn't usually need much. Undo the top roll bar drop link bolt that will let the arm drop lower. Leave the nut on the bottom of the ball joint in the arm and lever the arm to get it free from the strut. Wd40 will be your friend mate.

plus a big lump hammer.
If it hammers all the way on without splitting the joint, use it as a pry bar (can't do that with the short length splitters).
Note that this tool will often f**k up the ball joint gaiter.
