How do you get skate bearings out?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

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.

Answer 8

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.

Answer 9

Not much you can do, just ride 'em.
