Okay my eagles are almost done
and i wanna get my bearings out
without fuckin them up, there bones 6 ball btw.
I tried the normall way with an allen key and nothing..
I even tried putting a pipe over the allen key
for extra leverage and still not moving
just this little tick noise when i put pressure
on the allen key.

I had the same problem.
Just put your wheel in the freezer over night, the u can take them out with an allen key and a hammer or something like that ;)

Hi There,

Better heat up the wheel (alu core) on a heatingplate or something (not hotter then 100 degrees Celsius).
Alu will expand more then CR steel of the bearing.

Anyhow, normally use a 8mm (old) bolt or something like that and put it in the hole of the first bearing till you feel the second bearing, hit it carefully with a Alu or plastic hammer and the 1th bearing will come out.
Sometimes bearings will stick because of the corrosion between the bearing (CR steel) and the alu core.
