Default 12 bolt spool axle removal?
Forgive my ignorance but I just picked up a 12 bolt with a spool and I cannot seem to figure out how to remove the axles so I can put on my backing plates. Can someone please explain?

Nevermind that, I figured it out. Is there any way to get these bearings off short of taking it to a shop to press them off?

they are pressed on and pressed off.

It's really cheap to have them put on or off though.

Do not reuse the old bearings after having them pulled off. You need to buy new bearings.
