Sorted.
Hammers did the job.
Had a little oh dear I'm stuck moment with tracked end (think it's called that)
Slackened nut off then left it on thread increased I missed with hammer freed the ball joint but then could not slacked nut off due to it still on lock tight and the bolt started spinning.
Mole grips on the boot of the ball joint managed to grip the bolt enough to slacken the nut.
Another question
how tight should I have gone on the castle nut against the bearing?
I just went tight with fingers then a tiny bit with spanner to get split pin lined up

Very limited access so can only really get to one side with a hammer. Can’t even get in to smack it down from above.
Any help gratefully received!!
Length of bar as a punch and a bigger hammer?
All it should take is 1 GOOD crack with the hammer.So any ideas how to get this one off?

You need to be quite a bit tighter than that, I think the torque is around 170Nm? But I just bar them up tight as you are just pulling driveshaft into a double race bearing, no tapered rollers to preload. If you really want the actual torque I'll look it up. Done a lot of Gator wheel bearings whilst serving as a Deere mechanic.
Warm it with the gas then hit it with a hammer it’ll fly offSo any ideas how to get this one off?
