Brass punch and or small screwdriver for the cone inserts. Once there out they should come right off.

what's the "cone inserts" ?
edit: i figured out what they are but what is the BEST wat to get them off? i have heard of the hammer option but is there any way that is less damaging?

For the cone washers I never had any that were seized up really bad. I would lightly hammer a very fine tip flat blade screwdriver in the slot, spread it slightly and smack the outside of a hub with a hammer to pop it out (leave the nuts on, the will fly if you aren't careful).

To get the hub separated from the rotor... Not as fun lol. I have a few extra lugnuts laying around that I use to screw on to the end of the lugs to preserve the thread. If I have time I will hose them down with PB Blaster and let it sit overnight first. I have at times used a torch to heat things up, MAPP gas usually. It does help. A nice hand held sledge, a nice drift preferably brass, a few blocks of wood or whatever you have and a swift beating. The rotors aren't difficult they can just be time consuming. I hope this helps.
