getting bearings out

[lieneman]

iv been having trouble getting my bearings out of my wheels(yaks) whenever i try to get them out they end up getting dented and the performance is affected or sometimes they just wont come out.

take an ellen wrench or a swrewdriver. stick it in the bearing hole, push it down to the side and pry it up, move it around in a circle like motion....

thnaks iv tried using an allen key but it sometimes dents them so i think ill try to find a shop where u can buy a bearing remover.

 

[I like scooter]

there are bearing removers?

do the allen key method but put a tape ball/something soft on the end of the allen key so it doesn't scratch/dent the bearings as easy, then hit it out slowly and carefully and move the allen key clockwise slowly around the bearing as you hit it.

i have never ruined a bearing like this in my life...this is how all the skaters and skateboarders do it around me...they taught me hwo to do it at the skatepark....yea this is definately the best way...other than bearing removing tools... and maybe you are thinking something different.
