I use a vise and sockets - but I tap - lightly - with a hammer on the yokes as i am pressing them in or out... they have always tended to go smoothly without any drama, even my rusty crap. I replaced both joints when I had the car down for the rust repair this last year.
I got a screwdriver stuck through my left eye when i was 17, so i wear safety glasses religously... but during the rust repair thrash, i ended up at the emergency room ... twice! no health insurance and no significant other to pull it out for me and it happened both times with glasses ON....! safety glasses over my reading glasses the second time Grinding rust both times... damn. those visits cost me over $1200 a pop... still payin' 'em off...and they used an actual DREMEL tool with a grinding bur to get the steel outa my eye both times. ... stuff happens. wear your safety gear!
