Swiss Bearings

[JaeTM]

Are Swiss bearings any different for removal? I have a pair of Alkali skates that had 608RS Swiss bearings in Dynasty 3 wheels. Tried removing them to clean them and I cannot for the life of me get it out and I actually damaged one of the bearings trying to pry it out.

I purchased one of those multi skate tools to use the push/pull technique that is supposed to make it easier but they will not pop out.

It doesn't look like there's a space in between the bearings like I normally see in my other wheels/bearings. I've never had Swiss before and I can't find anything specific on them from Google. I guess they might just be stuck but I legit cannot remove any of them with this tool.

Any help is appreciated.

Dowel + hammer? I've had bearings stuck before, sometimes they need to be forced out.

Can you post a photo? If there's no space, then you shouldn't have to use the tool to push it out. If there is a space and the tool isn't working, you need a different approach and most likely gotta hammer it through. Once you get them out, cleaning them is super easy.
