Back when I had a serious pomegranate tree, I bought a Squeezo [a 
fairly expensive hand-crank juicer] to juice them. Made it very easy. 
Squeezo's really a neat tool--easy to separate, say, tomato pulp and 
juice from seeds and skin; I should take t out of hiding and use it 
more.
When I was a child in Northern Florida we had a pomegranate - it was more
a big shrub than a tree.  My grandmother had a tool that looked like a big
potato-masher - a thick wooden hinged piece with a semicircle with holes 
in it cut out of one side and a ball-shaped piece that fitted into it.  
That's not
a very good description, but you put the pomegranate seeds into the hollowed
part and the ball part that fitted into it squeezed the juice out through the 
holes. I remember that she once served a punch made with pomegranate
juice to her church women's group, and they were horrified because they
thought she had spiked the punch.
