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.

 

[Element]

how can you hate i would kill for these wheels

 

[Forest12]

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.

Yeah it's propped up against my bars so it would come I don't actually hate them they are amazing wheels but they are really annoying ATM

 

[the_SD_local]

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.

 

[alexanderespinoza]

get them hot so the metal expands to get the bearings out!
oven maybe definatly not the microwave

 

[zprestoe]

I need to put a spacer in them and now new bearings they've been p00ned from all of this hammering

 

[nick12667]

man up

 

[Lil Steve]

Did you get them out yet?

 

[maxlikesscooters]

you have the same exact prob as me

 

[Andy Rhode]

I broke my proto. couldnt get the bearings out. even with a torch. so i said fuck it and shipped it with the bearings

 

[ibbruiser]

dwhips bearings fell out of his pretty much which was kinda wierd but i just hit an axle into the off center spacer. it was still really hard and i mutilated the spacer and the bearings are ruined but i got them out

 

[tunney]

How about.. get new bearings and ride a wheel you can actually get your moneys worth from.

 

[nickbrah]

get some wd40 and spray heaps on there, its prob from dirt or like the rub off u get from metal sometimes
