You need a ball-joint tool; The parts are a tapered fit so they're tight, but a pain to remove. The tool looks like a tuning fork and your jam it between the parts you want to pry apart and whack it some. Lots of fun, but will split the boot if you're not careful. You can rent one from autozone for free if you have one nearby- it's on their list of rentable tools.
