Get two sockets one the same size or a tad smaller than the u joint cap and one slightly larger to receive the cap. Bang the crap out of the small socket with a hammer of course....or use the same sockets and a very large vise.

If you happen to have a pitman arm puller, you can use it to press the U joint out. And to remove the cap a pair of channel locks or vice grips do the trick. if you have never seen a pitman arm puller once you see one it will be self explanatory.
