Hub pullers. You'll need to put something over the filler hole obviously, but then just hook the puller behind the collar and away you go. This is, of course, assuming you have hub pullers...?
Otherwise, I don't really know. I guess you could try hammering it from behind?
Good luck.

I removed the one off mine when i got it and put a small replacement in its place inkeeping with the car, and I removed the brass collar using a adjustable rubber oil filter strap, once it moved it came off easy.
