to get the bearing out of your wheels http://skateboard.about.com/od/boardmaintenance/ss/HowToRemoveBear_5.htm

The little tube things are to put between each bearing if your wheels have cores. its basically bearing-tube-bearing. your bearings should come pre-lubricated but when you need to clean them, at the end of the process put like 2 drops in each one and make sure to spread it around.

yeah i am unable to take my bearings out because the nuts on the end of the axles kinda wore down to nothing, so i would have to hammer them back on. You can use an eyeglass screw driver to get them out. they are like 2 mms long so they work well.
