It's rusted into the knuckle, most likely. This happens often. I have seen them rusted into the lateral link bushings as well, but it's not as common.
A nice long soak in penetrating oil, and an impact gun that makes 1,100 pound/feet breakaway torque has always gotten them for me...
Careful if it is bound in the lateral links, as it's easy to damage the bushings twisting on it.
