How to reinstall ball joint to knuckle

Hello everyone.
My nightmare with control arm bushing replacement is almost over.
I only need to reinstall the ball joints to the knuckles and I'll finally be able to reinstall the wheels.

Unfortunately, this seems harder than I was expecting.

I am raising the knuckles with my jack but when I do this they get away from the ball joint, so I am unable to align the hole with the pin.

Can you guys give some advices?


Thanks again.
