ive done it with ba press and a balljoint tool only reason for torch is to heat the original cups loose with fiber inside of the driveshafts and ive used a socket inside a vise they all work about the same for me i even used a air hammer and a socket works good to but noise.......i wouldnt pay for anyone to do mine unless dont have these tools

You can do it with a lil heat & a hammer n socket. How soon do you need it done? I have access to a shop press if you cant gettem out.
