I put mine in a vise using sockets to push it out, something like in this picture: http://autorepair.about.com/library/...s/bl275lib.htm . Alittle heat will also help....

Just so every on knows To get them out if there not coming out your not using a big enough hammer. I used a 12lb sledge!

Rusted u-joints can be a pain. A air hammer and a ball joint press usually works too.
