I have been successful in removing them by grinding the head of a bolt to fit the slot in the retaining ring, and fit the bolt to a slide hammer... work it out one side at a time.

try a blind hole bearing puller most of the come with a slide hammer in the kit or can be mounted to one. and it would pull evenly. if you can get one big enough is another question.
