They are swaged in place in most applications. If you see a snap ring you're ok. If not then you'll need to find a race team/shop that has swaging dies.

Try letting some spray lube or light oil creep in and tap just the ball to get it loose. If you're successful, make sure to keep it lubricated. Not ideal but it may get you through for a while.
