Judicious application of a welding rod to the outside of the yoke will shrink it slightly. Not recommended though, because it will put the yoke out of balance unless you know exactly what you are doing.

I had a tractor that did this all the time and I tried everything to stop the caps rotating inc loctite products ..shimming..punching the yoke inside plus loctite..but nothing held.
I ended up welding inside the yoke and machining them out to the correct size. Had the same issue on farm UJs and just get a new yoke nowadays. Take it to Hardy Spicer with a chair...they will fix it and balance it☺

So all back in - not turning. Used Loctite Bearing fit but as an extra precaution when it was all together put a dob or two of super glue where the circlip touches the bearing cap to stop any initial movement. (note as soon as you apply the circlip pliers to remove the circlip the glue comes off the shiney surface of the cap).
So all seems good now.

IMHO, the suggestions above are well and good, especially as a "get you home" repair. My personal view would be that it is much easier to do the full replacement gig in your driveway, than on the side of the road, or the middle of a track somewhere. (Let alone the collateral damage if it lets go at any speed.)
