I bought my Spicer U joints from a Drivelne shop and had them also install them and balance the drive shaft* while at it also. That said, I've used a big "C" clamp or a vise with a socket of appropriate size as well as a hammer and a large drift punch (of sorts) on occasion too. FWIW.
*The relatively LOW rpm of the half-shafts may exclude them from need of further balancing.
