Although it can be done, I wouldn't recommend using a hammer or any impact tools to pop the bolts out.... I used a large 3-prong heavy duty gear puller to press the lug bolts out.... you'll need more tools/items but you'll run less chance of cause unwanted bearing wear/damage.....

How about if I used a rubber mallet instead of a hammer?

Pressing them out is the best for DIY... to pull them in, use a bunch of thick washers that barely clear the stud diameter and then use spare wheel nut to tighten studs....
