You are right, the caps do press out. I take a small socket (about the same diameter as the cap) to push the cap through the yoke. You put a larger socket on the other side for the opposite cap to side into (the purpose of this one is to support the driveshaft yoke ear while pressing the cap and body of the ujoint out of the yoke). In a perfect world you would set this up on a press, or in a vice big enough to fit everything; I usually use a BFH and hit it as hard and as squarely as possible. Just try to be careful of the yoke ears; you do not want to bend them. I've yet to not be able to remove one with a hammer and two sockets, but some can be pretty stubborn.
