Tom -

If you have to remove them for some reason, I'd recommend the old-fashioned 
car jack mentioned in another reply.

You might, however, just consider driving the existing ground rods into the 
ground and buying new ones for future needs.  The effort to remove a ground 
rod may not be worth the cost of buying replacements.
