There are helicopter ball joint pliers on Amazon, but quality is hit and miss. I have one and it works sometimes.

Most all of them I run into are tighter than a.... Like in the suspension area from the hub carriers to the braces or up in the steering sections
I call them a ball joint - maybe a better explanation is a Ball Stud and Ball Cap - unsnapping them boogers

I just use small needle nose pliers. They have always seemed to work for me.
