Rose joint? I think you mean ball joint. (rose joints are different)

The other way to pop the joint is to hit the side with a hammer or better still, two hammers, one each side.

One big hit! Not a lot of little hits.

Put the front up on stands under the sub frame, use your jack under the drum to lift up the top arm from the body and put a spanner in the gap and lower the jack. Undo the top nut till only on by a couple of threads. then hit the ball joint with a hammer. and pop she'll go. If your not doing it today PM me and I'll take photos for you for tommorrow arvo.
