Don---Try rapping on the yoke in one direction to give you a little bit
of  clearance in the opposite circlip groove.

I have always had to apply heat to free up the cups. Especially those
that have been in there for many years.  Anything from a propane torch
to oxy/acetylane, for the really stubborn ones. I use a long-nose cener
punch to work out the cups. Others have reported success in using
sockets and a vise.
Polishing out the yoke bores before installing new units should make it
easier "the next time".
