You don't need special tools - at least i didn't.
Some guys have been able to yank them out with just their fingers. I wasn't able to do that.
I pryed the edge of the tube with a flathead screwdriver until it cracked part of the lip and exposed an edge of the tube that I used needle nose pliers to grab and pull out. Wish i had a picture to show you.
I probably only needed new O rings and didn't need to replace the whole tube and probably the same is true for you. But since you have new tubes, if you don't care then it doesn't matter what happens to the old ones.
You might be able to fabricate a tool - something like reverse pliers or an expansion tool or something that can expand when put into the tube to help pull out the tube gentle so you can reuse the tube part.
Putting the new one in you definitely don't need any special tools - new ones go in pretty easily.
Good Luck and let us know what you end up doing.
