Get the string up under that bearing, and pull as hard as you can.

Just use the string method.  Works everytime.

nono. the string doesn't get under the bearing. I can get the hubstakcs off, but not the bearing. it's just not working. I don't CARE if I break the bearing, but I just wanna GET IT OFF

So use pliers and crush it with all your strength.

how does that work?

Throw it into the freezer.

[Mind]

Lucas, Simply put it in a freezer for several minutes( about 5 or 10 ).. Don't use needle-nose pliers. Vice grips work well, as do standard finger pinchers (the kind with the rounded out inner jaws). Wrap medical tape around them for better grip.

I can't find my pliers. what do I do

[Swatnoodle]

freezer method didn't work. Is there a blunt force way to just crush em? I'm scared of breaking off the post

Just use the string method.  Wrap it under the bearing.  Throwing it into the freezer might help.  The string method can also get the bearing off.  Found a video.

Nope, tried the bearing and the pliers, this thing just own't move. WDF. And es, I used the freezer

 Hey Swat if you cannot get a yoyo string under the bearing try dental floss its pretty tough and might help, Ive used it to loosen stuck bearings on a RC Heli, just thought you might be able to try it before you end up smashing the bugger off.
