92hatchattack 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2006 common now .. i know you all know how to switch bearings ... Im sure its just a matter of pushing them out with something .. i just dont want to do it wrong and end up messing up a bearing or something! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WAMPS19 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2006 I am going to assume that mission is using internal spacers instead of the ones that fit inside the inner radius of the bearing, however, if that is not the case, a simple bearing popper will suffice. If the spacer is "hidden" or in the hub of the wheel, I usually take a 90 degree allen wrench and put it in the hole where the axel goes and torque the bearing out. I haven't had any problems with that since I have been doing it. You might also try and find the tool Tour gives out with their skates. It goes in the inner radius, fitting perfectly, and all you do it wedge it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
althoma1 574 Report post Posted February 7, 2006 I usually pop them out using a bearing popper that basically looks like a little metal table with only one leg. If that doest work I'll pry it out with a think screw driver.You may also want to consider getting a set of cheap bearings for use outdoors. The bearings will usually get dirty faster if you use them outdoors...especially if you go through puddles ect. Having a couple sets of bearings will also make it easier to change back and forth between wheels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
