Skating question about bearings and wheels?

Ok so ive been skating for like 2 summers and i got a new enjoi deck for christmas with thunder trucks, spitfire wheels, and red bones bearings. the bearings were extremely har to put into the wheel and idk if its supposed to be like that or if it was because of my wheels. also the wheels dont spin completely straight on the bearings, but they almost do?

Answer:

problematic matter. check out into yahoo or google. just that can assist!
you didn't get the bearings seated in the wheels correctly. Take the wheels off the trucks slide one wheel back on the axle press firmly and evenly to seat the bearing. You might need someone who can give it a bit more muscle flip the wheel over and repeat. do this for all 4 wheels. If there still is a problem, take them to a skate shop. They have a bearing press that can install the bearings.
