U-joint removal tool?
What can I get to remove a universal joint from a drive shaft? Harbor Freight? Sears? Auto Zone?

Ball joint press. Harbor freight has them pretty reasonable. It looks like a big C-clamp. plus when ever you need to swap ball joints you have the tool to do it.

BFH, and a short, half inch bolt held in place with vice grips works well for me.
