Another option is to get a large C-clamp to compress the
ends. A vice will work as well. Be very careful of the needle
bearings in the caps. It's real easy for one to fall off the rim and into
the bowl and you'll never get it compressed enough to get the snap ring back
in. Frustrating to say the least. If the U-joints aren't fresh and
the grease has hardened or thinned a bit, use a dab or two of wheel bearing
grease to ensure the bearings stay against the wall of the
cap.
The hammer/socket method shown will work in a pinch - I've
done a bunch that way. Just be sure the yoke is supported or you'll break
off the ears.
Good luck.

BTW Keith, nice diagram!
