Big hammer time. I take a hammer and small screw driver to get the
inside clip out.

I then lay the axle on something solid like a brick and use an old 3/4"
socket and hammer. I put the socket on the cap of the u-joint and hit
it 'hard'. Sometimes I use vise grips to hold onto the socket so it
doesn't bounce away.

I was able to get the clips off and pound out the ujoint with a hammer
but the seized up bearing caps refuse to come out. I have the shaft
in two pices but can not get the ujoint out of the outer axle shaft.
I will continue to pound and pull.
