put them in your freezer overnight before you take out the old ones, they'll go in a whole lot easier than the old ones come out.

You can use a large drill bit to drill out the rubber and then use a hammer to collapse the shell. Pull the shell out with some pliers.

Then with a large socket, or a piece of pipe of the correct size against the shell, hammer the new ones in.


or better yet, use an air hammer and it will take 2 seconds.

The MM tool will take them out and also can be used to put them in.
