If you have a set of sockets, you can use them to press the cups out of the yoke. Select one to use as an anvil that the cup will fit inside, but the yoke around it will be supported and another that's slightly smaller than the cups to punch it out with a hammer. Not the preferred use for sockets, but it will work. Back in the day, GM had an old filmstrip featuring Primitive Pete abusing tools.
Or you can rent/borrow a ball joint press from most parts stores. That's really the correct way. Like this

I have used a heavy duty steel C-clamp (I think it was a 6" opening span) and 2-6 point sockets (they have thicker side walls) sized like Kevin noted in his reply to press the cross shaft and bearing cups out. You could clamp the C-clamp into your vise (in your picture) to hold it steady while turning the adjuster to act the same as the "ball joint press". The C-clamp set-up still acts like a press, so removes the chance of miss-strikes with a hammer.
Just a thought and hope it's helpful. Let us know what you figure out.
