Got all 4 circlips out but caps won't budge to come out

Make sure you mark parts first to line up prop shaft to assemble in same way so you don't unbalance the propshaft
Then use a socket to fit the cap and another socket that is large enougth for the cap to fit inside on the other side and gently press it out with a vise until you can get hold of the cap with a pair of molegrips and pull it out.
A extra pair of hands will also help.

Mite be a good idea to borrow a gear puller as well if the centre bearing has been on for a while. It will save lots of sweating and swearing.

Dont be scared man

No need for a press. get the prop off & stuck in a large vice. split the prop by removing the bolt in the centre of the joint then batter feck out of it to split the 2 ends. pay attention to what way the old prop bearing comes off. I removed the circlips on the UJ's then skelped them with a hammer & chisel. then just use your savvy to work out how to get them out.
