I don't know if a hydraulic press is needed or not, I just ordered them the day before yesterday. Normally I just use a bench vice, but this case will probably require more force.
Properly installed, I have never upset the balance of a driveshaft by changing the u-joints.

The original u-joints are staked in, so it will be necessary to first clean off the bits of metal that have been staked. If for some reason the replacement u-joints do knock the driveshaft out of balance, you can always get the driveshaft rebalanced. Sould be about $50.
