A femoral head press can comprise: a frame having first end second ends； a clamp connected to the first end to define a holding plane； a mechanical drive mechanism mounted to the second end and having a drive axis； a ram connected to the second end； and a femoral head cup connected to the ram； wherein the mechanical drive mechanism is configured to drive the ram along the drive axis substantially perpendicular to the holding plane to advance the femoral head cup toward the clamp. A method for assembly a femoral head to a stem neck can comprise: attaching a clamp of a frame of a femoral head press to a neck of a femoral stem； connecting a femoral head to a cup connected to a ram slidably engaged with the frame； and actuating a mechanical drive mechanism coupled to the frame to advance the cup toward the neck.
