Ok andrew I've got a screw driver chilling on the inside of my wheel on the bearing and smashing the top of the screw driver with a hammer. The problem is I don't have a spacer in their which is why I'm taking the bearing our.so I could put a spacer in their. It sucks

freeze them. the metal contracts (i think thats the word), making more room for the bearings to come out.

dont smash it out you will fuckk up the wheel hit it out all around the baring not in just one spot it should come out
yea work it around it. Not just one spot. then it slides instead of trying to pry it out. If it doesnt work. Like steven, pound it out.

Are you just hammering it on the ground or do you have the wheel propped up on both sides to allow the bearing to fall out? They have to be propped up either on an open vise or bricks or something so the bearing can fall out.

Contract means to get tighter. Freezing your wheels will just make it worse.

Yea, I know. There are a couple things we are working on to improve them so hopefully within the next couple batches we should have all the bugs worked out.

Why do you want to take the bearings out? I wouldn't even think about taking the wheel off my scooter.
