Yes, grab the BFH and beat it to death. Then you'll be buying a new yoke. Best to get the right tool to press it out or take it to a machine shop. The cost of a machine shop will be less than buying a new yoke and then getting it put together. You also need to keep the phasing right or it will vibrate. On a drive shaft BFH = $$$$.

I've always done them like that and every mechanic I've ever worked with has done it the same way. You don't wack the yoke. You wack the socket and support the other side.
