use a pair of needle nose pliers to open the clip and slide it off.

Or a screwdriver under one end and work it around until it's out of the groove.

can you pull the cones out with a wheel puller, because they wont come out by hitting them?

Try hitting the side of the flange itself.
Mine popped right off. No problem at all.
