Find someone with a press, put the body of the ball joint down a tube, and press against the top of the joint (from the upper side of the wishbone). Probably just 30 years of rust holding it all together if you've drilled the rivets out.

you can drill the hole oversize to get the ball joint out as the bolts are bigger than the rivets so needs oversizing anyway!
