Use sockets and a vice or an hydraulic press. Don't lose the needles! New u-joints should come with grease in them, but a little extra definitely won't hurt. If something doesn't feel right, don't force it.

If you get u-joints with greasers, clock them so that the zerk is under compression when you're going forward.
