Well they're usually only pressed into the wheel flange. You need to knock the old one through, and fit a replacement. The new one can be just tapped in, and then drawn in tight using the wheel wrench. Don't lubricate the new one, they need to be a tight/interference fit. A 3 Lb Hammer and a punch should get the old one sorted out.
