U Joint tips

Hello list,

Either I seriously underestimated the difficulty of removing U-joints or I 
don't understand what "tap" means. After whacking away for about an hour, I 
finally got one side of one joint out. The bearing cups on the other side 
only go as far as flush with the yoke, then suddenly decide to jump back in. 

Can someone describe their technique for getting the cups out, or does it 
just take a long time with alot of tapping. Only five (really eleven) more to 
go.

I helped my dad replace a U joint some twenty years ago, but don't remember 
the details. I do remember learning some new words, though. 

Thanks,
Bud Trussell
