Yep, smack it out with a big hammer. Put in the new one, a bunch of washers then the nut (backwards) and the impact wrench will pull it into place. There may be a position where the head of the bolt will go back causing the least jamming, rotate the hub and check it first for clearance.

BTW 4 out of 5 is ok, 3 out of 5 (not all in a row) is acceptable. 2 is only for very short distances (rear only). If you have factory wheels (or proper aftermarket ones) the weight should be supported by the hub, not the bolts. This only applies to the rear where there is a LOT less side force. Be safe!
