move the spacer so an axle wont go through but get stuck half way across and then hammer the axle

but use an axle instead of an allen key when hammering and you can have the wheels elevated on 2 things instead

my spacer is the type that dont move and stay centered all the time, i can only get a bit of the bearing but it still wont come out, i tried using a hammer and allenkey but didnt work
that makes no sense. that means it's impossible to get your bearing out....

He means that the spacer is self centring like the district ones. This happened to me before, I took the rubber casing off the bearing on one side and got a small screwdriver to pry out the plastic case which holds the bearings together. Once you have done that get all the bearings out and the inner part of the bearing. Then just hammer the other bearing out and also hammer out the outer rim of the other bearing which is still stuck in the wheel.

the spacers are not 100% self centering. get an open vice place the wheel ONTOP of it. so the bearings can fall.
take a FEMALE front or rear razor axle.
make sure a tiny bit off the spacer is showing, even 1mm.
put the axle into the bearing so it sits on the spacer,
HIT it. one solid hard hit will work. hit it hard.
dont be a pussy
