So after i took the hubstacks off of my skyline, i wanted to put them back in. however, all the tutorials i’ve watched require the bearing being separate from the actual hubstack. Any ideas on how to get it out?

Try using a pencil to push the bearing out by shoving the pencil through the top of the hub stack

Happened to me, I just put it normally than pop on the o rings. I had to use a couple tooth picks to get the ring on through the actual hubstack.

Put a bearing removal tool through the top and push it out.

You could use a pen cover to take it off because I did that myself😃
