get a front axle and put the bearing you want int he wheel on the bolt part then ur bearing spacer and put that through the wheel then on the screw bit put the other bearing you want in the wheel then tighten them up and they should squeeze in as u tighten. was the axleis tighten all the way your bearing shoudl still not be in all the wya so get another bearing to use as a spacer undo the front axle put the extra bearing on the botl side then slide it throuhg and do it up tight until your bearings are all the way in if that makes sense.

or just hammer it if u dont get that

the easyiest way if u cant push em in is to put it on the ground and give it a nice heel (stand on it) as the plastic is soft.... you cant do this with metal cores tho got to use a hammer

r u sure u didn't get the gm's with the smaller bearing hole cause i think on some sites it gives u two options for bearing hole sizes. 608 and 688 i think. if it wasn't that then do what i did and squeeze the bearing into the wheel with a vice.

Yeah, that happend to me like twice. i hate green machines. they always dehub and the bearing space gets all messed up.
But if you want to get the bearing in most people just use a wheel.

buy a skate tool with a bearing press.
or if you have a skateboard at home just take off one of the wheels and use the axle.

that is exactly what I was gonna say

1. place bearing on ground

2. place wheel on top of bearing, with the bearing slot over the bearing

3. lightly apply pressure with your foot

4. go purchase an item called "common sense". I think it'll be sold at your local Wal-Mart
