Have someone push the balljoint down into the spindle to lock it in place so that you can remove the nut.

You've got a few options.

Keep in mind that all these will destroy the ball joint.
Oh, one thing I didnt think of. If you've got a replacement nut for it. You can either A) Just dremel it off B) Dremel the pin slots off and put something in the hole to hold shaft or (This is the easiest) C) goto your local parts store chunk out 19-20 bux for a nut splitter. It's basically a clamp that cuts the nut in half.
