first u wanna either find your self a gear puller or just take two screwdirvers and pop those bearing covers off. there not attached, because there just covers.
if you take them off youāll have a normal bearing set up.
I am pretty sure thinuniking is mistaken here & the unicycles sold by unicycle.uk.com with lollipop bearing holders have the same size bearings as normal, i.e. 40mm diameter. I have done this conversion myself.
Bad news is that I think you will be unlikely to pull the lollipop bearing holders off without either damaging the bearings or the wheel unless you use a suitable puller.
Solutions:
Ring everyone you know in the locality asking if they have a puller.
Wait till Monday & go to the garage
This is a common sort of puller that would do the job, it has 3 legs:
Thanks for all your help, i ordered new bearings from unicycle.com as well they came with the frame order so no worries there i put my old frame and unicycle back together so i have a unicycle for now and iālll use it to go on my quest for a puller!
no sense in keeping those lollys so here is what you do.take a hacksaw and cut a slit in the round part of the lolly.cut it down carfully till you can see the bearings,then stick a flat head screw driver in the slit and pop it with a hammer.the lolly will break free from the bearings.
the lollys are made out of soft aluminum,it was a very easy task
that is not a unicycle.uk.com/.com uni it is one of the bike shop ones infact it is the same as one of our club members uniās .And the bearings did not fit when he made the switch.
