An another method is to use a c clamp and sockets from your socket
set. The socket that pushes the cup has to be smaller in diameter
than the cup. The socket on the other side has to large enough to
receive the cup. As you tighten the c clamp the small socket pushes
the cup into the large cup. Safe and low tech.

Someone made the comment that you had to have a BIG vise to replace the
U-joints on the drive shaft. I second that idea. I just had my hand
opened up to remove a piece of brass that splintered off the drift I was
using to beat the axle cup off. I know it was stupid to do it that way,
but desperate men are driven to desperate measures. Use the vise.
