Taking out bearings

[evanreed]

Can you take them out without damaging the bearings themselves? Every time I take my bearings out I destroy them usually use Allen key and pull it out or hammer them out with an Allen key. What do you do and do you damage yours?

I move the spacer inside the wheel with allen key, and hit the spacer with axel and hammer. I havn't broke any bearings yet, but thats just luck probably.

na i also do it that way and it works best. when installing bearings and removing them though i find sometimes they are damaged but sort themselves out after a while

take a headset cup, place it so the smaller end (the end that goes in the deck) upwards, then place the wheels on top of it, and use a brake axle for a pro model, and then hammer the bearing untill it pops out. i hope that made sence and helped!
