Axle for inline skate wheel stuck to bearing spacer. help!?
I am assuming that you have one or two piece axles. Three piece (a screw from each side screws into a threaded spacer) axles are very rare nowdays and very different.



You need to tap the axle out.

If you have two piece axles (a screw goes into the axle from the other side), get a longer screw than the axle ones and screw it completely into the axle so that it sticks out 1/4 to 1/2 inch.

Put a wheel or wheels under the frame with the axle in the center hole and tap the wheel out (light taps with a hammer on the screw)



For one piece axles, buy a punch or rest a screw against the screw end of the axle. You can do that with a two piece axle but you have to be careful to not damage the end of the axle or the screw threads.
