yeah Sonny I used to beat them in and out with a hammer when I was in my 20's..then I started using a vise..they always went in easy working on the old worn out sh#$ I used to drive..the Spicer ujoints were the best, only a little bit more money..the little mini press has proven itself time and time again..best overall machine I own..and I built it here on MBN years ago,just rebuilt it with the 2"thick platen plate last year
