If they have not been changed in a long time and the grease is all dried up they can be really tight within the hub and hard to get out. If you are talking about getting the collars out they can be knocked out with a hammer and punch, that said I have broken punches before trying to knock them out. Putting the new ones in can be done by using the old collar to get it in as straight as possible.

The Job is not that hard, having the required tools will help though.
..wrench, wheel, wreck repeat..

Should be able to get it out with a hammer and chisel. If not, get a die grinder in there and carefully grind through the collar with the die grinder to get it out
