The full way of how i remove and put bearings in.

Step 1: Take the bearings out. What i do is i use the long part of the screwdriver and CAREFULLY AS TO NOT CHIP THE BEARINGS, take 'em
out.

Step 2: Set the bearings on the trucks axel. Put the wheel on the axel and smack the against the bearings so it goes into the wheel. Put spacer in the wheel and repeat step 2.

Step 3 (if necessary): If the bearings arent staying in, don't smack the heck out of them with your wheel, but use the butt end of the screwdriver and carefully TAP the bearings into the wheel.

Step 4: Make sure one washer is against the trucks, and then put the wheel on. Then put the other washer on the end, screw on the nut, and your good to go.

Good luck!

The best way I have found is to take some speed cream and put a drop on your finger, then rub it around the bearing seat on the wheel (the core). then the bearings pop in like magic! no press or tools needed!
OR, take a dirty throw-away bearing and put it on the axle. Then get the bearing started slightly into the wheel with your hands, then just press down on the old bearing. This alleviates the stress on the new bearing as opposed to just popping it in on the axle and risking damage to the shield.
