If one does not have a press and instead uses a small mallet and a socket to drive out the caps, I HIGHLY suggest you wear heavy leather gloves .

This may save your hand if the mallet slips on that greasy u joint.

I want one of those u-joint presses. I have always used the "place axle shaft or drive shaft on 4by4 board, place socket over u-joint and hit it with a BFH" method

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that "u-joint press" just a medium-large size c-clamp?
