Compressed air into the oil galley will pop them out like a cartoon toaster.

you probably have a dinged up edge around the lifter your trying to get out, Or is this all the lifters that are doing this. If just one or a couple then worst comes to worse use a pair of plyers or vise grips and twist them out as you pull upwards on them. Your gonna need to replace them if you do this *** more than likely your gonna damage then. Also if your having them stick i think you have more important things to worry about.

If you get new lifters i suggest getting the ones for a RR motor. They are a superior design compared to the older ones. Make sure you pull straight in line with the lifter bore or they will tend to stick on the way out but give it a little twist as your pulling straight out with them and they should come out, I usually just get mine out by hand very easily.
