have you split the leg from the ball joint?
also removing tie rod end and anti roll bar link will help also

yeah you remove the bolt from the wishbone for the ball joint then you have to split the ball joint from the leg so its seperate then u will be able to pull the leg towards yourself to remove it from the gearbox end

best and quickest way to get it out is to depart the ball joint and prize the bottom arm from the suspension. that will enable you to pull the suspension away from the car (dont remove it, just swing it out) so you can pull the drive shaft from the wheel bearing and then just simply pull from gearbox.
