Kurt,
I just got done rebuilding mine on my 65 Malibu.  Although all my parts were new, the ball should come out once you remove the retaining ring.  If your z-bar is still full of grease, the grease might be creating enough of a suction type seal that will make you pull a little harder than you might think you should.  Use steady pressure, the grease will let go eventually and it will come apart.  Hope this helps.
