Large hammer, or better yet, an air hammer. As far as reinstalling them, there's 2 ways to go about doing it. 1 would be to drive them in from the backside, supporting the hub from the oposite side as Wrenchbender suggests for removing them. The other method is pulling them in with a nut. I would advise not using the lug nut for this, as that methos can be rough on the nut itself, making no good for holding the wheel on. Use an extra nut with the same thread, plus a few washers for a thrust surface. Lube with some wheel bearing grease and crank it in. Don't force it, go easy so as not to distort the threads.
