The most common way, and the only way that i have seen so far is:

1) Place the wheel (with bearing) onto the axle just far enough that the axle is AT LEAST more than 3/4ths of the way through the bearing but NOT far enough that its beyond the bearing.

2) Pry on the wheel at an angle using the axle to bend the bearing out. AKA Pry the bearing out.

do that for all your bearings and be careful, it should not take more than maybe 15 pounds of force.

Unscrew the center nut in the wheel. Pull the wheel off the axle. Get something narrower than the axle and poke it through at an angle so that it catches on the inside face of the opposite bearing. Push the bearing out. This'll leave the wheel wide open and make poking the other bearing out real easy

put your wheel half way in your the pointy thingy on you r trucks where you put you wheels and bend it so your bearings can come out or you can use a screw driver but the best way to get it out is the trucks way

Unbolt your wheels first, you will need a small socket wrench for this. Then push or pry out the bearings, there are two per wheel. Press in the new bearings and bolt it up again, but not too tight so as not to squeeze the bearings.

Unbolt wheel, poke something through the axle hole(I prefer an Allen key, ) slightly at an angle so that it catches the inner bearing race. Then push and the bearing should pop right out.

Depends on what's wrong with hem. If they feel notchy or run noisily, you can try to clean and lube them. But if the wheel wobbles on the axle, they have to be replaced.

You take the wheels of the trucks, and then put them at a 40 degree angle on the truck. then push down the the bearings will come off.

How do you change wheel bearings on inline hockey skates?

First, remove the wheels from the chassis with a skate key/alan wrench. In the wheel hub, there should be one bearing on each side, now check the bearings to see if there is a spacer in the middle of the bearings. If there are spacers in between your bearings, you can push the spacer out to remove the bearings. If you have a mission skate key, (comes with every pair of mission skates) slide the skate key in the bearings where the axel would go, then push it until the bearing and spacer comes out... do the same with the other side. (put the spacer back in, then use it to push the other bearing out) If you have a tour skate key, (comes with every pair of tour skates) use the little nub on the side of the skate key to push the bearings out with the spacer. If your bearings do not have spacers in the middle, use a tour skate key to carefully pull each bearing out. (pull it slightly on each side like you would if you were pulling a computer chip out of a motherboard with a flathead screwdriver) If you do not have a skate key designed for removing bearings, I recommend you get one at your local pro shop or online store, otherwise you won't be able to pull the bearings out without damaging them.To put the bearings back in, just push them into the wheel hub.Do not forget to put the spacers back in if your skates require them!Weather your skates have spacers or not depends on the axel. (which is designed to fit your chassis, so don't try changing your axels on the same chassis) If you have 6mm axels, your bearings will need a spacer in the middle. If you have 8mm axels, you don't need and can't have spacers in your bearings. You may have different bearing sizes (608 standard bearings, or 688 "mini" bearings) but the process is the same.
