So i already installed my bearings in my metalcores, and i didnt put a bearing spacer in, is this crucial? i dont know how i am going to get them out

yes it is crucial, for one, it makes it a hell of a lot easier to get bearings out, and it lets you tighten the axle the full amount while still letting the bearings spin freely.

You don't need them but your better off to have them. If you tighten your axle real tight your wheel will spin easier and faster.

yes as your bearings will last about 1/4 of their life if that if you dont alleviate the sideways pressure that no spacer creates and the idea is to have less friction which will make you go faster

you dont need them but its alot better with them. You can tighten your wheels as much as you want and your bearing will last longer. But its your choice you dont need to use them
