    very carefully :)
    you place the tip of a prying device just barely under the edge of the washer; you then gently push your prying device against the wheel hub while watching the lip bend; once it has bent a little, you can then reposition prying device for the final bend over.
    NOTE: it is best to use your prying device against the locking hub bolt opening, or slightly off center of it; the reason is if you bite too much all at once, you can break out the thinner un-reinforced portion of the hub circle.
    NOTE: the secret is do not try to bend too much all at once; stay out on the edge of the washer with your prying device.

    DISCLAIMER: all of the above my method; not responsible if your break your wheel hub or pry device; wear eye protection
