I have a pair of 2009 Rollerblade Spark and the bearing spacers are different from the bearing spacers on my 1996 K2 flight 76s and I just bought a Rollerblade Blade Tool and does not work on removing bearings from my 2009 sparks. any advice Fun Skater?
He changes a lot of wheels when he sets up a booth at events and can pull bearings much faster than explaining how. Use a bearing tool or other object that fits inside the bearing. Just put it in as far as the bearing and lean it to a side to put force on the bearing. Make a rolling motion around a circle with your hand and the bearing will walk out of the wheel. A cruder, brute force, method is to take a screwdriver handle from a 1/4 socket set and put it into the bearing hole (it will just fit). Then twist sideways until the bearing pops out. Most better quality skates have gone to the 8mm axles and the rolling motion is a good method to learn.
