Default Advice on removing "Push Nuts"

I need to disassemble an exercise machine that used "Push Nuts" like
these. Instructions say they need tool for removal, and are not
re-usable. It appears HD stocks them (see link below)

Is there a special tool for removal ??
Or what is best alternative, prying, cutting, what ??

They are sometimes re-usable if you get them off w/o destroying them
if you can the best way is to bang the part being held from the back
side with a hammer.
if you can't do that then pliers or a screwdriver; they break apart
easily
