A ball joint press is normally used to install press-in ball joints into the control arms, the tool you described is commonly called a "picklefork", or just Ball Joint Remover.
I just replaced my front wheel bearing on the car since I didn't want to trash the rubber boots on my new control arms. This was done using a tool that I made from round stock, and a large threaded rod. Harbor Freight has a set to do the same thing, but I'm not sure if it will fit our cars.
