I may be wrong but I do not believe that the ball is sold seperate from the axle least not from the dealers. The likely reason they didnot use a nut to hold the ball on is that over time it would wobble or rattle off.

So you will have to try heating around the pin to see if the ball/pin will be able to driven out or pressed out or you may have to replace the whole main piece of the front axle.
Is there any chance that you could post a picture or two of the ball/cap you're talking about?
