How do you get berrings out of a skateboarding wheel?

Question

I have a tool, but I dont know if it is for getting the berring out. anyways if you could tell me I would be happy. And if there is a tool tell me the name and what it looks like please.

Answer 1

i always a screwdriver, that way you can get the right leverage


Put the screw driver into the bearing hole, and then put your weight on the wheel with with your other hand. Then pry out the bearing.

When putting in the new bearings, put the bearing in, then slide the wheel onto the axle, then put your wheight on it till the bearing slides in all the way (you can also put the wheel on the axle and then tighten the bolts till the bearings are all the way in)

Answer 2

You can take the wheel off and use a screwdriver on the back side of the bearing to pull it off.
