Finding that would have been a surprise for anyone IMO. Since you are replacing the transmission anyhow, shouldn't need to worry to much about how you pry out those clips and knock out the trunnion as they won't get reused. I say that with a cautionary statement. You will need to make sure you have the entire U-joint assembly to reconnect the new 3 speed to the torque tube driveshaft and that it all fits/mates up correctly. Don't destroy or throw anything away until you make sure everything you need is on-hand for reassembly.
The '38 instructions and picture seem to indicate once the clips are out you can easily knock loose the bearing cups and trunnion with a BFH and a drift pin. Make sure you support the torque tube so it doesn't come crashing down on you or any body parts directly below as you disassemble!
