Unscrew the nut, take the wheel out. Put the wheel on the very end of the axel and slowly pry the bearings out.

I just take the end of an allen wrench and gently pull them out. If you have something to grip the wheel down it will make it easier. Dont be afraid to break the bearings, they can take alot of pressure.
