How to Remove Bearings the Easiest Way

Putting bearings in your wheels is pretty easy, but taking them back out is where people have trouble sometimes. The most common way to remove the bearings is just by putting half the wheel on the trucks axle, and using your hand to pry it off. But there’s a much easier way to do it, with common things you can find around your house.

All you need to do, is put the wheel halfway on the axle again,(so just one bearing is on it) but this time get something like a screwdriver, or anything you can use to put inside the outside bearing (small pen, fancy skate tool, etc). You stick it into the outside bearing, and turn it like a lever to pry it out, and usually the inside bearing will conveniently be sitting there on the axle for you. To take the other one out you do the same thing, you just have to find the perfect spot inside the wheel to get good grip to pry it out.

Hope this tutorial helped, I would love to hear your feedback.
