give the hub a light tap till it breaks the seal on one side then get a big flat bladed screw driver in there and lever and tap the oppisite side till it pops off

and by the spring washer you mean the sir clip?

Take a brass drift and hit the studs holding the freewheeling hubs. Hit it squarely at the end as if you are driving them deeper into the wheel hub.
