I wouldnt use my vise, I have actually broken a vise in the past using it to
press out u joints.  Unless its of really good quality, I wouldnt risk it.  I
usually soak them in penetrating oil for a long time, then use a slightly
smaller deep impact socket and a big hammer and beat the snot out of them
until they come out.  Then I beat it back the other way until it moves freely
and I can get a pair of vice grips on the cup to pull it off.  Good luck
John!
