At work I always use a pry bar as pea said. If that doesn't work then a BFH and a long steel driver helps to persuade them out. Only problem with the last method is you need to use shop lift to get the full swing of the hammer.

You may need to have a couple of clips handy for reinstall. Sometimes they break.

Yep prybar. The most frustrating part of the whole job imo.
