Hey Jim,
I'm in over my head with house projects right now and haven't even had a chance to work on my Jeep in way too long, but there may be others here that could give you a hand. Have you come across Stu's page of Jeep repairs yet? Here is the link to ujoint replacement. I would suggest going to home on his page and bookmarking it. There are a lot of good write ups on his website.

I was going to suggest a similar method, balljoint press is definitely the way to go.  I spend 150 bucks on a press at harbor freight the first time I did mine.  It worked but it's super excessive.
