Well I did get them off and it was quite easy.. As in the first picture I posted, (but this time all the clips were removed, stupid shucks, should have checked for myself) I hammered on the area AROUND the cap, the cap begins to come out of the yoke upwards and then you can pull it out. Flip it over to the other side and repeat. The other cap will come out then you can remove the yoke.
Now you just have the ujoint in the halfshaft, so this time I put it in the vice with the u joint stubs bridging the gap. I took a socket a little bigger then the cap and started tapping on it as it sat around the cap (pushing on the yoke again). Does the same thing as before, cap comes out the top, you flip it over and repeat, then you can pull the u joint out. Done!!
Thanks for the help everyone, what I learned from this is always double check if there are indeed clips, and actually use your brain.
