Sometimes you have to beat pretty hard after you remove the retainer clips. After years of dust, grime, and rust they're almost glued to the shaft. Soak them with blaster or some other solvent. Diesel works good also if you have some handy.

If you have to beat on it too much it might be better to take it in to have them pressed off. Usually don't charge too much. I think it was $10 a joint about 6 years ago.
